Beloved is an educational community for veterans and their families

We operate offline in Kyiv and Lviv, offering educational, social, and cultural support to those navigating new roles in their lives.

We are a nonprofit organization sustained by donors and patrons — people who recognize the importance of supporting those who wait and helping those who return to adapt.

We welcome small but consistent support. 

Our main audience includes:

  • partners of active service members and veterans,
  • families of military personnel and veterans,
  • veterans themselves.

Each month, in both Kyiv and Lviv, our community offers a variety of opportunities, including:

  • English classes for all levels, organized in partnership with Green Forest;
  • Professional training courses designed to provide the knowledge and hands-on experience needed for a career change or growth. We currently focus on two areas: creative fields (communications, copywriting, management, and more) and skilled manual work (currently, sewing courses);
  • Career-focused lectures on professional development, exploring different fields, and building hard skills (grant writing, financial literacy, developing personal social media) and soft skills (CV writing, public speaking);
  • Creative workshops like papercutting, clay, pysanka painting, floristry, and candle-making, as well as excursions to help participants find emotional support and new hobbies;
  • Book clubs — in Kyiv (with Sens Bookstore) and in Lviv (with The Old Lion Publishing House);
  • A business community launched in Kyiv;
  • A peer support group in Lviv;
  • Cultural events open to all engaged Ukrainians, where we meet with veterans, historians, memory foundations, war journalists and photographers, and researchers;
  • Health and wellness sessions—stretching classes in Kyiv and yoga in Lviv;
  • We also organize events and training sessions in partnership with, and upon request from, patronage services and rehabilitation centers.

Our team is made up of people who live and breathe this project. Among us, there are fiancées and wives of military personnel, and volunteers — people who understand firsthand just how vital this community is.

We’re also open to partnerships and collaborative initiatives: beloved.education.ua@gmail.com.
