Formation Model
The S.H.I.E.L.D. Initiative
S.H.I.E.L.D. stands for Strength, Hope, Identity, Endurance, Leadership, and Discipleship. Our initiative provides a Christ-centered path for combat veterans to find strength, hope, and a renewed life of purpose, character, and service. Women of Valor carries that same mission as a core Project 214 pathway for female combat veterans.

Veteran input needed
Help Shape What We Build First
Before public launch, Project 214 needs combat veteran input on what would actually be used: outdoor connection, life skills, women-only circles, readiness, benefits navigation, family support, and the barriers that keep veterans from showing up.
Faith Formation
Scripture, prayer, mentorship, worship, and Christ-centered accountability for veterans rebuilding from the inside out.
