NWTA Dates / Locations

What is a Specialized NWTA?

A Specialized NWTA (*these have often been called Gateways) uses the same globally respected protocols as every New Warrior Training Adventure, with cultural, accessibility, or demographic changes. It is specially geared to meet the needs and life circumstances of a particular demographic. The training staff will, as much as possible, be comprised of men who identify as members of the demographic, or who have special skills to meet the needs of the men participating. The intent is to 'make the minority the majority,' honoring the lived experiences and social and cultural realities for those attending.
