Why Parallel Exists
Parallel exists to connect communities across the United States through music, movement, and meaningful human connection, creating purpose in the process.
Our experiences are designed to do more than energize a crowd. They create space for people to show up for themselves, for each other, and for something larger than the moment.
Our Partnership with Onward Ops
Parallel proudly partners with Onward Ops, an organization dedicated to supporting service members during one of the most important transitions of their lives: the move from military service into civilian life. This transition affects more than 150,000 Americans each year, and many face real challenges with employment, identity, community, and purpose.
Through our wellness experiences, music, and storytelling, Parallel helps raise awareness, strengthen community, and create meaningful pathways for support. Every Parallel event becomes more than a gathering, it becomes a moment of connection tied to a mission that matters.
These events and this partnership aren't built just for veterans. They're built to identify high-performers, small business owners, and successful entrepreneurs — veteran and non-veteran alike — to join the Onward Ops ecosystem and help power the mission of successful transition.
“Too often, we are told that Veterans are broken. It isn't the Veteran that is broken, it's the system that exists to prepare them for life after the military. We offer a better way, connecting new Veterans with the tools, people, and resources that will allow them to find the success they deserve.”
Why It Matters
Parallel believes wellness can be more than personal. It can be a contribution. When people come together through movement, music, and purpose, they become part of a larger ecosystem of support.
