Mission Promise Kept is a holistic program at Stephens College created to support women veterans.

Mission Promise Kept: A Living and Learning Community for Women Veterans

We believe that every American veteran deserves our gratitude, respect, and support. But we know that women veterans, in particular, often face unique challenges. That's why we've created Mission Promise Kept: to empower women veterans to earn college degrees, achieve personal success and attain financial independence. Missi

Thank you to Amy LaHue for leading an amazing Breathworks class this past Friday for our student veterans and service members! ✨
We learned that simply taking some deep, belly breaths make a huge impact on your overall wellbeing. This was the perfect opportunity to connect with students and learn healthy coping mechanisms during the stressful upcoming end of the semester.

Follow to learn more about how breath WORKS!

Stay tuned for future events happening through Student Veterans of America-Stephens College!

Our Student Veterans of America Open House on March 11 was such a success. We had an amazing mix of community partners, nearby universities, veteran organizations, and students, veterans, service members, and allies, all in one space.

What stood out most? The energy. People genuinely want to be part of this community.

SVA isn’t just for veterans, it’s for anyone who connects to the mission and wants to support those who’ve served. We’ve got a lot planned this year and would love more people involved.

Interested? Email [email protected]

And keep an eye out for our next event on April 3, a free breathwork class!

Mission Promise Kept was proud to partner with Combat Boots and High Heels to host a powerful wellness event for our Service Members and Veterans at Stephens College.

It was grounding, energizing, and exactly the kind of space our women who served deserve.

Grateful for the partnership and for everyone who showed up for themselves. 💛

Hello friends!

We are looking for 🎟raffle item donations🎟 for Student Veterans of America Stephens College as we plan for our open house! This will provide us with funding for group activities such as therapeutic gardening, to purchase winter items, hygiene products, and basic dry goods for student veterans experiencing food and housing insecurities, allow students to attend the SVA National Conference, and so much more! If you or someone you know may be willing to donate items, please comment or reach out! We are super excited to support student veterans and service members in the best ways we know how. If you would like to make a financial contribution so that we can purchase raffle items or have something specific you'd like us to purchase on your behalf, simply send me a message!

We mostly serve women veterans and service members, so I am really hoping to have some type of self-care basket or arts and crafts basket of sort!

Thank you for the supports we have had so far!!! It means more than you know. Feel free to share 🙂

Kindly,
Your SVASC President
