Being a Bonfire Leader is More Than a Title
Becoming a Bonfire Leader with the Warrior Bonfire Program is more than a title—it’s a transformative journey of healing, leadership, and service. Our Bonfire Leaders are Purple Heart veterans who have moved from receiving support to guiding others on their paths to recovery. Through our Leadership Development Program and retreats, they gain the tools to foster camaraderie, resilience, and growth among fellow veterans.
