Upon completion of the curriculum Veterans are awarded a new guitar and guitar accessory kit. Monthly group lessons, open to past and current students, provide an on-going forum for Veterans to continue their music education. Many graduates become very active in the organization as volunteers. In 2024, the organization graduated over 1,800 Veterans from its instrument lesson program, utilized nearly 1,000 volunteers and provided access to the program in all 50 states. A new service offered in 2024 included periodic songwriting retreats for a select number of instrument lesson graduates.
