Our Mission
We empower American military veterans who are college Freshmen and Sophomores, through a values-based leadership program that builds resilience, strengthens conviction, and fosters principled leadership. Grounded in the core American ideals of faith, family, free enterprise, and constitutional liberty, we prepare the next generation of veteran leaders to stand strong—on campus and beyond.
Our Vision
Our vision is for America’s veterans to have a greater impact and increased leadership across every sector of society
Heroes to Heroes: By the Numbers
Our 12-month peer support program gives veteran college students the direction and support they need to succeed. These include curriculum-based learning, values exploration, goal-setting, a transformative travel experience in Israel, and community reintegration planning and more.
Who we are
Many Heroes to Heroes alumni have shared that they wish they had discovered the program earlier—before accepting a 100% disability rating—believing their lives could have taken a more positive path. After 15 years of supporting more than 500 veterans with PTSD and Moral Injury, Heroes to Heroes is answering the call and bringing its proven approach to where it is needed most: college campuses. College campuses today face growing challenges from hate groups and misinformation, often leaving veterans feeling isolated and vulnerable to harmful influences. By supporting veterans in these environments, we not only protect them from these risks but also empower them to serve as leaders—bringing strength, integrity, and unity to campus communities.
The Heroes to Heroes program offers a 12-month, values-based curriculum that helps veterans live with purpose, strengthen character, engage in respectful dialogue, and develop as leaders. In small teams guided by a mentor, veterans meet twice monthly, engage in monthly one-on-one coaching, and complete assignments designed to deepen self understanding and build leadership skills. Our program includes a 10-day journey to Israel, where veterans of all faiths strengthen their spiritual foundations, experience life in a democracy under constant threat, and explore the role of faith in sustaining a constitutional republic. Throughout the journey, they engage with experts on the challenges and responsibilities of living in a faith-based nation.
On campus, the program emphasizes values and leadership, guiding veterans to discover their passion projects or organizations. With the support of mentors and partners, veterans develop and refine their leadership skills while still in school. Our objective is to prepare veterans to lead with purpose—upon graduation and throughout their lives.
Your support empowers veterans to live with purpose, uphold strong values, and build lasting leadership. Together, we are strengthening our nation by developing principled leaders for today and tomorrow.
Together, we can help our heroes become leaders.

From Uncertain Transition
to Purposeful Leadership
Transitioning into the civilian world was an unexpected and daunting experience for me. After 24 years of service, four deployments, and leading hundreds of our country’s finest, I found the transition out of the military to be the most challenging endeavor I had ever undertaken.
Job applications, resumes, and interviews, were not explicitly taught in the military. Consequently, I went from making a significant impact and feeling a profound sense of purpose in my life to an uncertain search for employment. During this period, I discovered that many of my transferable skills were not readily applicable to the civilian job market. Months of job interviews yielded no positive outcomes, leading to a gradual onset of depression. I became increasingly distant from my loved ones, and anger and a lack of patience consumed me. I found myself drawn to a dark and unfamiliar place, a place that had been described to me by Veterans who had tried the job market before me. It was at that precise juncture that Heroes to Heroes selected me to participate in their program.
H2H provided me with invaluable guidance on organizing myself, setting specific and measurable goals aligned with my values, maintaining focus and staying true to my beliefs and faith. Shortly after completing the program, I secured employment and achieved remarkable success. H2H stood by my side during this transformative journey. Presently, as the Director of Operations for H2H, I am dedicated to assisting others transitioning from the military by offering unwavering support and resources while honoring their sacrifices.
