Are you an active duty service member, a veteran, or part of a military family?

Do you need help overcoming barriers to service dog training?

Looking for a safe place for your dog to play or continue training?

Send us a message, and let’s discuss how we can help!

We're also looking for service dog training organizations to collaborate with.

**What does our program do?**

Thanks for asking! Our primary goal is to reduce and prevent veteran su***des, and we approach this in several ways:

1. **For veterans with dogs**: We connect veterans who wish to train their own dogs with qualified service dog trainers from our trusted network. These trainers, who are also veterans, offer a 40% discount on their services. (Note: we do not handle or collect any funds).

2. **For veterans without dogs**: We assist in finding the right dog that matches the veteran’s personality, family dynamic, lifestyle, and the specific tasks the dog will perform. These dogs come from local shelters or, for specific breed requests, from breeders. Our aim is to save two lives—a veteran and a shelter dog.

Veterans and their new dogs can join either a self-paced or trainer-assisted service dog training program, including AKC Canine Good Citizenship and advanced service dog training. Some veterans may only need emotional support training, and we offer flexibility to meet individual needs.

3. **Training space**: We offer a free, private training space for veterans and military families to practice and reinforce the skills learned in weekly lessons. This space is judgment-free and ideal for veterans who may feel isolated or live in areas without easy access to training facilities. It fosters camaraderie and communication—two things veterans often need.

4. **Low-cost services**: We also provide affordable vaccine and microchip services for veterans in need.

5. **Free resources**: We offer free training vests, collars, leashes, emergency dog food, and training aids to remove barriers to starting service dog training.

6. **Real-world training opportunities**: We organize group training sessions and social gatherings in real-world settings like bowling alleys, offices, and cafes to give veterans and their dogs practical, hands-on experience.

7. **Fully trained service dogs**: For veterans who prefer to receive a trained dog, we offer a six-month program where we select, train, and match puppies from our network to meet the specific needs of veterans.

Our program is designed to be flexible and supportive, focusing on the unique needs of each veteran.

Our SeaPerch kickoff went great!. Thank you too all who were involved.

American Military Families- Action Network goal.for this program is to deliver innovative STEM & STEAM learning opportunities to children of Active duty service membere and the children of veteran in grades 5-8 . We have received an ARTsWA grants and collaborated with a Scouting Council (Boy & Girl Scouts) located in WA State to deliver this program

The SEAPERCH program is an innovative educational program that provides students with the opportunity to learn about robotics, engineering, science, and mathematics (STEM) while building an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV). Participants work with kits that contain the materials and instructions needed to build their own ROV, which they then test and modify to improve its performance.

Key aspects of the SeaPerch program include:

1. **Hands-On Learning:** Students engage in practical, hands-on activities that help them understand the principles of buoyancy, propulsion, and submarine design.

2. **Teamwork:** Participants often work in teams, promoting collaboration and problem-solving skills.

3. **Competitions:** Many schools and organizations that participate in SeaPerch hold competitions where students can test their ROVs in various challenges, such as navigating obstacle courses or retrieving objects underwater.

4. **STEM Education:** The program aligns with educational standards and aims to inspire students to pursue careers in STEM fields.

DoD kids - STEM/STEAM LEARNING

Title: Empowering Students Through STEM Exploration with SeaPerch

Introduction: In today's rapidly evolving world, fostering a passion for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education is crucial. One innovative initiative making waves in this regard is the SeaPerch program. Aimed at students of all backgrounds and interests, SeaPerch offers a hands-on opportunity to dive into the realms of underwater robotics and engineering.

Engagement with STEM: At its core, SeaPerch serves as a catalyst for igniting curiosity and nurturing critical thinking skills among students. By immersing themselves in the construction and operation of underwater robots, participants not only gain practical knowledge but also develop a deeper appreciation for the STEM disciplines. Through guided activities and challenges, students are encouraged to apply scientific concepts, problem-solving strategies, and engineering principles in real-world contexts.

Collaborative Learning Environment: Central to the success of SeaPerch is its emphasis on collaboration and teamwork. Students work together in groups, pooling their unique perspectives and skills to tackle complex tasks. This collaborative learning environment not only fosters camaraderie but also instills essential communication and leadership abilities—qualities that are invaluable in both academic and professional settings.
