The power to restore strength, resilience, and balance for Veterans and First Responders through customized physical fitness.

Since 2023, over 12,000 veterans and first responders have received direct support through one or all of our pillars in the Paladin Program.
300 families have been strengthened with resources that honor their role in healing and resilience.
1,200 hours of training and counseling have empowered our Heroes to overcome challenges and build purposeful futures.
85% of participants report improved mental health, stronger community connections, and renewed confidence.

At Project Heroes First, we know that true recovery means more than overcoming immediate challenges—it means creating lasting pathways to resilience, opportunity, and purpose. That’s why our ultimate goal is to establish a dedicated facility designed to serve veterans and first responders in every dimension of their journey.
