When and why was Challenge America started?
Challenge America started in 2008 when research revealed a lack of coordination of resources and information between programs for military across the country, making it difficult for warriors, especially those who have been wounded, and their families to locate the services needed for a successful transition from battlefield to home front. Recognizing the gap and the need for coordination on a national level, the idea of “challenging America” to find ways to connect military with the resources needed to establish a “new normal” life was born.

Challenge America serves military members and their families, connecting them to resources in their local communities for a successful transition to civilian life. Challenge America also works with service providers, encouraging them to share their expertise with military and their families and with other like-minded organizations by listing themselves in the Resource Directory, adding events to our Upcoming Events calendar, and submitting guest blogs.
