The Big Read: Tribe

As Mission43 celebrates 10 years of impact, The Big Read invites members across Idaho to reflect on the ideas that continue to unite us through service and build strength in community. Through a shared reading experience, participants will explore themes of belonging, purpose, connection, and what it means to be part of something larger than ourselves.

This year also marks the 25th anniversary of September 11, offering an opportunity to reflect on the communities that supported a generation of service members, veterans, and families and the importance of carrying those connections forward. Inspired by the themes of Tribe, The Big Read is designed to foster meaningful conversations about community, shared purpose, and life after military service.

Participants who register will receive a complimentary copy of the book and opportunities to engage with fellow readers throughout the experience.
