Warrior to Citizen Campaign
The Warrior to Citizen Campaign is a grassroots effort to provide enduring support to Minnesota's returning veterans and their families. It challenges all Minnesotans to think actively and creatively about how returning veterans can contribute their new skills and insight to our organizations, businesses, schools, local governments and communities—as citizens. By engaging veterans in education, faith, civic, government and community life, we can offer them unique ways to reconnect with the communities they left behind.
The Warrior to Citizen Campaign is organized by the Center for Democracy and Citizenship as part of Minnesota Works Together, a long-term effort to renew the
democratic way of life in our state.
