Mission and programs · 2024

• AMVETS West Oahu Veterans Center: During the reporting year, the AMVETS West Oahu Veterans Center (WOVC) continued to serve as a vital hub for veterans, active-duty servicemembers, military families, and the surrounding community. Our programs focused on wellness, reintegration, peer connection, adaptive sports, and community engagement-directly aligning with our mission: "To Honor the Dead by Helping the Living." 1. Adaptive Sports & Physical Wellness Programs The Center delivered structured adaptive fitness and sports programming designed to improve physical health, mobility, and mental resilience. Through our Big Tire Bootcamp, adaptive strength training, and peer-led fitness sessions, veterans of all ability levels participated in safe, inclusive training environments. These programs promoted injury recovery, chronic pain management, suicide prevention through connection, and overall quality of life improvements. 2. Veterans Reintegration & Peer Support The Center provided a safe and welcoming environment for veterans transitioning from military to civilian life. Services included peer mentorship, resource referrals, benefits guidance, and collaborative engagement with VA and community partners. Veterans accessed support for employment, housing, health care navigation, and social reintegration. 3. Community & Youth Engagement The facility hosted community-based programs that strengthened intergenerational relationships between veterans and local youth organizations. Partnerships included leadership mentorship opportunities, civic engagement events, and structured activities that instill discipline, patriotism, and service values in young participants. 4. Health & Wellness Education Workshops and seminars were conducted throughout the year focusing on mental health awareness, suicide prevention, financial literacy, nutrition, and holistic wellness. The Center collaborated with military commands, nonprofit organizations, and healthcare providers to expand access to critical information and preventative care resources. 5. Facility as a Community Resource The AMVETS West Oahu Veterans Center served as a venue for veteran recognition ceremonies, training events, leadership development sessions, and nonprofit collaborations. By providing meeting space and structured programming, the Center strengthened partnerships with local military units, civic groups, and charitable organizations. Impact Through these coordinated efforts, the AMVETS West Oahu Veterans Center enhanced physical wellness, strengthened peer networks, reduced social isolation, and reinforced community bonds. Our programming reflects measurable progress toward improving veteran health outcomes, fostering resilience, and building a sustainable support network for those who have served our nation. The Center remains committed to expanding access to adaptive sports, wellness initiatives, and community reintegration services to ensure that veterans and their families continue to thrive in West Oahu and throughout Hawaii.

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
