Improving Self-Esteem and Confidence
Spirit
• The WWR works to strengthen a Marine
from the inside out.
• WWR staff provides resources and
programs that work to improve a Marine’s
self-esteem, self-confidence, and selfworth.
• This is achieved through:
– Marine Leadership
– Mentorship
– Participation in lines of operation
– Individual and Unit Athletics
– Community Service
There are some things medicine and
technology cannot heal, where scalpel
cannot reach and therapy cannot alter.
