Unleashing Artistic Discipline

Support Our Mission

Creative Drill Sergeants (CDS) is dedicated to using expressive arts and workforce development as vehicles for a Veterans economic empowerment. Our organization’s mission is to use creative expression and media as tools to foster personal healing, development, and economic independence. By providing access to programs that integrate mentorship, artistic expression, and media production skills, CDS transforms the lives of its participants making it an essential platform for fostering social and economic empowerment.

Operation Enjoyable Employment, a key program that ties directly into CDS’s mission of economic empowerment supports individuals, particularly veterans, in building fulfilling careers through creative and professional development in media production, broadcasting and distribution.

About Us!

Creative Drill Sergeants is more than a nonprofit—it is a movement built on resilience, creativity, and service.

We serve veterans, disabled individuals, artists, and underserved communities by creating pathways for healing, leadership, and opportunity through music, mentorship, advocacy, entrepreneurship, and wellness initiatives.

Our media division, Get AMP Network TV and Radio, extends that mission by giving people a platform to be heard. Through television, radio, podcasts, interviews, documentaries, and community broadcasting, we amplify real stories, real struggles, and real victories.

At the intersection of healing and media, Creative Drill Sergeants and Get AMP Network work together to transform lives, elevate voices, and build stronger communities through purpose-driven action.

Empower Veterans Today

Our workforce development standout initiatives are Get AMP NETWORK TV and Radio, and (AMP) Archeus Media Productions, which offers hands-on training in media production, broadcasting and distribution.
