The Military Sisterhood Initiative
“I couldn’t make this self quarantine, without this website. It’s a lifeline, to real women.” -Marilyn
For women Veterans who feel isolated, online communities offer a great place to connect. The Military Sisterhood Initiative, or MSI, is one such community for women Veterans and female active duty service members.
MSI offers a safe and welcoming online space for military women to connect with their sisters, which is valuable in moments like these when face-to-face meetings are not possible.
As a private online community, MSI serves as a place to congregate, share, learn, grow, give/receive, and – once things go back to normal – find meet-up opportunities with military sisters near them.
By joining MSI, women can:
- Create a profile and connect with other military sisters near them or across the country to build one-on-one relationships.
- Ask for help when they need it and offer support when their sisters are in need.
- Engage in discussions and activities around different monthly topics and weekly challenges.
- Post and find events, resources, and stories relevant to women Veteran growth and empowerment.
Developed and managed by Challenge America, a national veteran 501(c)3 nonprofit, MSI was designed by and for military women. Zaneta Adams – Army Veteran and Director of the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency – had the original vision for the Sisterhood and helped to put the pieces in place to make it a reality. Challenge America then partnered with Global consultancy firm, Acumen Solutions, to design the MSI platform.
Women Veterans and female active duty service members can join thousands of their Sisters on MSI by visiting www.militarysisterhoodinitiative.org and clicking “Request to Join“.
