OUR impact
Veterans change their own lives
And then they change all of ours. When veterans lead purpose-driven, thriving lives, they positively impact everything and everyone around them.
It takes thousands of structured hours to become a member of the U.S. Military, but preparing for civilian life after service doesn't come with a guidebook
that’s where we come in
Military life is just that—an entire life
Intense structure, built-in comrades, and military culture infuse every minute of service.
Most enter as teens. Some are born into military families.
Our programs restore veterans’ vitality
We know veterans are Built for More.
Through our program, they see it, too.
Many veterans struggle to integrate
Relationships suffer, sleep degrades, careers stall, and wounds linger.
Even outwardly “thriving” veterans can feel hollow and stuck inside.
the civilian world is different
Post-combat, so are veterans.
No longer surrounded by a team and a leader, veterans plunge into a chaotic civilian world on their own. Many feel lost—unable to translate their powerful potential into new circumstances.

WE SEE CHANGES FIRST-HAND
THEN WE VERIFY THEM WITH DATA
Syracuse University's D'Aniello Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF) impartially measures the impact of our programs. They track things like sleep, well-being, sense of purpose, and relationships from pre-program to graduation day. The results tell us that we’re on track, and illuminate where we can be even better.
