Mission Briefing:
We are building a sanctuary where our nation's protectors—military, fire, EMS, and police personnel—find solace and rejuvenation amidst nature's embrace. Our mission is simple: to honor and support the well-being of those who serve by providing a peaceful retreat for rest, recovery, and reconnection. Here, heroes gather to unwind, share stories, and strengthen bonds within a community that truly understands the weight of service. Join us in our commitment to giving back to those who've dedicated their lives to protecting ours.
Multi Purpose
At Guardian Grounds Ranch, our vision transcends beyond just a place to unwind; we are creating a comprehensive sanctuary tailored to the unique needs of our first responders and military personnel. Starting with cozy cabins nestled in serene landscapes and expansive areas for exploration and leisure, our ranch is a haven for those seeking respite from the rigors of duty.
But our mission goes deeper. As we evolve, Guardian Grounds will incorporate a spectrum of wellness and recovery services designed to address the holistic needs of our heroes.
Future Developments Include:
Nature Trails: Miles of tranquil paths through lush forests and open meadows, designed to soothe the mind and invigorate the body.
Counseling Services: Professional support for emotional and psychological well-being, offering a guiding hand through the challenges of service-related stress and trauma.
Mental Health Treatment: Comprehensive programs to address and treat mental health issues, ensuring our guests have access to the care and understanding they need.
Drug Addiction Treatment: Specialized recovery programs focused on overcoming substance abuse, providing a path towards healing and renewal.
Everyone in your organization may not align perfect with your vision, but they damn sure better be mission driven and orientated. Fluff the vision all that you wish, but leave the mission short and concise. Every board member and employee should be able to recite a mission statement off the top of their head.
From my experience in the Marine Corps:
The protection of our Nation and the advancement of its ideals.
Huge multifaceted entity, but very concise and direct mission statement. Our mission statement is strong and powerful. It is what we are GOING to do, not what we hope to, or may, do.
Our Mission:
Healing heroes through the power of nature and relationship.
Our Vision:
To create a sanctuary of solace and rejuvenation exclusively dedicated to our nation's heroes—veterans, first responders and their families.
Our society needs healthy and helpful service personnel and first responders for us all
to thrive and enjoy our liberties and freedom, yet where do these men and women go
when they need services. The staff and mission of Guardian Grounds Ranch are
focused on bringing healing and making a positive impact with the mental health of our
national heroes. Jason has worked tirelessly to help those around him achieve mental
wellness by bringing an amazing multifaceted successful mental health program to the
fire department and Guardian Grounds is the next level of treatment necessary to heal
these incredible heroes. At Shield Bearer, we are honored to work with this incredible
organization and its partner organization Camp Comrade to help promote mental
wellness to first responders and veterans.
