National Veterans Memorial and Museum

The NVMM’s Resilience and Wellness Program connects Veterans and their communities by providing activities that support a healthy mind, body and spirit.

Our vision is to create an environment fostering a strong sense of belonging, purpose and camaraderie that ultimately results in the development of lifelong friendships and sense of community in the civilian world.

Through the generosity of sponsoring organizations, and in partnership with the VA’s Whole Health cultural transformation, our holistic program positively impacts lives by allowing Veterans, military families, caretakers and their civilian counterparts to connect through fitness events, artistic programs and outdoor activities endorsed and hosted by the NVMM.

Regularly scheduled Yoga and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes are paused until further notice.

“NVMM’s Resilience and Wellness Program has significantly improved multiple areas of my life. By attending several of the events during the Wellness Weekend, I was able to see firsthand the same positive impacts. I felt a strong sense of community, increased sense of wellbeing, and positive impacts to my mental and physical health. I felt like I was truly cared for while attending these programs, even as a civilian.”

“I have formed countless meaningful and lasting relationships, gained a better understanding of myself, and learned properly how to identify and treat negative thoughts and actions. I feel happier, less anxious, more energized, and more passionate about other areas of my life. The NVMM has made a significant improvement on not only my life as a civilian, but on the lives of countless other civilians and veterans, and I am so grateful.”

“This program provides a tailored environment that supports a close-knit community and offers a space where individuals can come together in a remarkable way. The professionalism and expertise of the instructors are truly impressive. They have created an inclusive atmosphere that welcomes everyone, regardless of their abilities, age, race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. Each time I participate, I feel fortunate to connect with everyone in the room. I am thoroughly impressed with this program and feel privileged to be a member of the museum. It’s been years since I’ve set foot in a museum, but this unique program has not only brought me back but has also attracted individuals who may have never considered visiting otherwise.”
