** Info about Specialized New Warrior Trainings
Specialized New Warrior Training Adventures use the same proven processes as every New Warrior Training Adventure, and add cultural, accessibility, or demographic changes. These are BY (the specialized group) and FOR (the specialized group). The training staff will, as much as possible, be comprised of men who identify as members of the demographic, or who have special skills to meet the needs of the men participating. The intent is to ‘make the minority the majority,’ honoring the lived experiences and social and cultural realities for those attending.
There are a number of varieties:
- Barrier Free – New Warrior Training Adventure with increased accommodations, assistance, and accessibility for men with a wide range of different physical, cognitive, or neurological abilities.
