Our Mission
To address the unseen moral injury, guilt, and shame of combat veterans by fostering reconnection to faith, rebuilding hope, revealing purpose, and guiding them toward belonging and peace.

Costs
The cost to participants includes a $500.00 program fee for the 12-month journey. If you are taking the journey to Israel, your Passport is required and it must have an expiration date of six months or more post-journey. For both the Israel and domestic program, you must provide your own airfare to meet the team at the retreat or, if traveling to Israel, at the U.S. point of departure to Israel (usually either EWR (Newark Liberty, NJ), JFK (New York)). The domestic retreat is all inclusive. Participants are required to purchase their own lunches and incidentals/gifts while in Israel (all other food is included). Other costs are generously covered by donations to Heroes to Heroes, allowing you to participate in this life-changing journey.
Heroes to Heroes offers three distinct journey options for its participants. All options require an 12-month commitment; however, each offers a unique experience tailored to the individual needs of the veteran.
The traditional Heroes to Heroes program includes a 10-day spiritual journey to Israel, as well as an 12-month virtual curriculum-based program.
