Empowering New Beginnings
New Boots New Roots
Our organization began as a group of
friends who had a vision to help new
enlistees feel more comfortable with
the decision to serve in the military
by providing a sense of community.
We saw a need for Veteran
organizations to cultivate younger
membership and realized that
younger veterans don’t really feel
comfortable enough to seek out
membership because typically there
is a large disparity in age.
Ultimately, our aim is to bridge the
gap by introducing new enlistees to
the veterans organization and the
positives that can be gained by both
sides.

What we do
We start by reaching out to the new
enlistees before Graduation in an
effort to help celebrate their decision
to serve by having a celebration
barbecue at the veterans
organization. The goal is to form
relationships with veterans who can
offer support for the enlistees as well
as their families, and to foster a
growing relationship in the veteran
community.
During their service they could
expect the occasional check-in by
sending a letter, and possibly a live
stream of their graduation ceremony
from boot camp for family and
friends that may not be able to travel.
Throughout their service we would
continue with check-ins and offer
care packages during possible
deployments to keep them involved
with the community here at home
and keep morale high.
Our Mission
New Boots New Roots exists to
welcome, support, and empower
newly enlisted service members and
their families as they begin their
military journey.
Through mentorship, community,
and purpose-driven connection, we
help young service members plant
strong roots within the veteran
organizations fostering personal
growth, life-long camaraderie, and
continued service beyond the
uniform.
We will be an outreach program for
newly-enlisted service members to
create a community of support
through boot camp, service, and
beyond.
We will connect them with veterans
to be mentors, provide a support
system for their families while
enlisted, and assist with any
additional support through already
established veteran programs.
We want to simply provide a place for
the new veteran to feel connected.
