NAVY SPECIAL OPERATIONS FOUNDATION

Children of Navy Special Operations service-members spending 1/4 of their childhood without their parent. NSOF believes that these children deserve the utmost gratitude and respect for the sacrifices they make as their parents leave to fight the nation's battles.

Our Warriors miss birthdays, holidays, and so many more memories that can never be recaptured.

We work aggressively to place them into exceptional sporting and educational programs, summer camps, and athletic activities which promote health and wellness.

These youth programs are essential in helping to fill the void and facilitate building meaningful friendships between these children who share in common struggles.

It is imperative that while our heroes are protecting the nation in faraway places around the globe, they are comforted by the fact their children are being cared for back home.

Over 250,000 service members transition from the military into the civilian workforce every year. The Navy Special Operations community represents the top 1% of that population. NSOF stands ready to support these operators in finding meaningful careers after their selfless service to our nation.

What We Do:

• Identify operators 24 months prior to their separation or
retirement to ensure they have adequate time to prepare and plan
for their transition

• Provide a well-rounded set of resources and programs best suited
for NSO service members and tailored to their personal and
professional career goals

• Leverage our personal and professional network to provide them
with curated opportunities and introductions to those who have
made the transition as well as business professionals

To grow and strengthen bonds between our members, we host exceptional events for operators and their families.

These events range from festivals, weekend getaways, and unique family experiences which are more than just a fun time but provide a critical bridge towards building the resolve and resiliency of the community by creating unscripted opportunities for relationship-building and networking.
This has proven invaluable in helping our Warriors heal the emotional wounds that have surfaced after decades of relentless combat around the globe.

This is equally important for allowing spouses and children to share in this healing process with their loved ones, something that is essential for lasting success.

This community presence is a lifelong network that does not have an expiration date, but rather is built upon and maintained to ensure our members always know who to turn to for assistance, friendship, and guidance.

It is important to use our platform to raise awareness within our own communities and across the nation by telling the incredible stories of our heroes who have saved so many lives by living the creed of protector first, warrior always.
