At Sheep Dog Impact Assistance (SDIA), fall is more than a season; it’s a time for gratitude, growth, and giving back. From major mission milestones to meaningful partnerships, here’s what’s happening across the SDIA Nation and how you can join the mission.
Building the Future: Strategic Vision for 2025 and Beyond
SDIA’s Strategic Vision & Goals for 2025 charts a bold course forward, expanding Heroes Ranch into a year-round hub for Warrior PATHH, Outdoor Adventures, leadership training, and family retreats. With a new covered equine arena planned and national partnerships strengthening, SDIA is ensuring more veterans and first responders can find healing and purpose through post-traumatic growth (PTG).
