THE HONOR FOUNDATION

THF provides a multi-faceted executive transition program for active-duty special operations service members preparing to separate from service and pursue their next chapter in life. The program provides transitioning service members with the knowledge, resources, and network to find their purpose and value outside of the military. Our three-month in-person and virtual programs fulfill a vital need at a critical time for transitioning veterans and their families, elevating them to serve at their full capacity in the private sector.

Our goal is to provide a world-class program for the men and women of the US Special Operations Command enterprise so they can prepare for transition with confidence in a cohort of their peers. Having a successful transition with continuous support is critical to ensuring these veterans find their new purpose and value in their post-military careers and ultimately prevent the negative mental health outcomes that occur from transitioning poorly.

THF's vision is to impact every transitioning service member (~2,500/ year) from the U.S. Special Operations Command enterprise and be a catalyst for overhauling and innovating the Department of Defense (DOD) transition assistance program to benefit all separating military service members.

How it will be executed:
Over 3 months, THF Fellows (program participants) meet twice per week after work to learn and engage with faculty and volunteers in the cohort. Our fellows benefit from a tailored and comprehensive executive education program, including professional instruction, hands-on learning in a group environment, 1:1 executive coaching, mentorship across major industries of business, and a nationwide network of volunteers and employer partners. Our program enables the servicemember to determine the best course of action for what they would like to pursue (career, start a business, continuing education, etc.). Our team works with our alumni in a 1:1 capacity to ensure they meet their transition goal by the 90-day mark after the end of service, and our alumni have access to our staff, resources, and network of support, for life!

THF cultivates a rich company culture which leads to a motivated, caring staff, faculty, and volunteer network. THF leverages this network, its resources, knowledge, and experience to create and deliver the highest quality comprehensive military transition program in the nation.

THF's capabilities include:
- a world-class staff, faculty, and volunteers
- a proven curriculum
- strong ties to businesses and communities nationwide
- career support for life

As of December 1, 2023, THF has continued to serve hundreds of veterans and their families each year with its program and services. THF is now home to 8 campus locations and 2 virtual classrooms across the country, and globe.

THF has built a world-class transition program with 1:1 professional coaching for each Fellow, a proven curriculum, and first-class faculty and staff, with access to a network of 500+ executives who serve as mentors and advisors for our transitioning veterans.

Over the past ten years, we are proud to have served 2,558 Special Operations families through our 3-month transition program, and we have served over 900 hundred more service members through content-rich seminars. After graduating from our program, 97% of THF Alumni report they are "fulfilled" 90 days after leaving service. We define fulfillment as the participant achieving their objective in one of the following categories: employment, continuing education, starting a business, or taking a sabbatical. We serve The Honor Foundation Alumni with honor, for life!

The Honor Foundation is changing lives by offering clear guidance for service members to find their purpose outside of the military, reversing the narrative of negative outcomes for transitioning veterans, and elevating our elite military to be prepared to serve at their full capacity in the private sector, for the mutual benefit of all.
