On March 30th, UCA WAVES’ Pathway for Heroes program hosted a special event for active-duty young service members in Fayetteville, bringing support, connection, and celebration to those who serve our country. We also had the honor of celebrating the birthday of one of our participants!

During the event, we:
• Introduced WAVES and our programs, sharing how we can support them beyond their service.
• Handed out flyers and encouraged participation in our upcoming initiatives.
• Engaged in meaningful conversations, listening to their stories and providing guidance on financial issues, taxes, social relationships, and career planning.
• Welcomed a veteran speaker, who shared valuable advice on transitioning smoothly to civilian life and pursuing future education and career opportunities.
• Enjoyed a great meal together, filled with laughter, support, and connection.

The enthusiasm from our participants was truly inspiring! They had a wonderful time and expressed great interest in our future initiatives. UCA WAVES is committed to standing by our service members, providing the resources and community they need to thrive.

Fayetteville, we’re here for you, and we’re just getting started! Stay tuned for more events and opportunities to connect.
