The Honor Foundation: Career Transition for Special Forces

The Honor Foundation

The Honor Foundation (THF) is a career transition program for U.S. Special Operations Forces that effectively translates their elite military service to the private sector and helps create the next generation of corporate and community leaders. We provide a clear process for professional development and a diverse ecosystem of world class support and technology. Every step is dedicated to preparing these outstanding men and women to continue to realize their maximum potential during and after their service career.

Our Mission

To serve others with honor, for life, so their next mission is clear and continues to impact the world.

Why U.S. Special Operators?

Often underutilized in the private sector of business and entrepreneurship, our programs allow industry to effectively deploy this incredible talent pool.

Our Vision

Impact all active duty personnel within the U.S. Special Operations Forces Enterprise (~60,000) through the THF Program and career transition support. Be a catalyst for overhauling the entire DoD transition program.

We wouldn’t be able to serve the SOF community without the investments our supporters make—whether that is sharing their time, developing creative fundraisers, or donating funds critical to our success. Our very own Kathy Watson describes how she personally supports THF by bringing her local community and businesses together in a wonderful event to raise money for our cause. It’s these kinds of advocates that help us further our mission!

Phase One of The Honor Foundation’s program takes our Fellows on a deeply introspective journey, where they examine their motivations, answer some tough questions, and learn more about themselves alongside coaches and mentors. They develop their personal narrative and then share their stories with each other during a very special class called Story Night.

Though our campuses are now deep in Phase Two of the program, we wanted to take the time to reflect on this special evening as our campuses are so inspired by what each of our Fellows courageously shared. It’s not always the easiest thing to share such personal details, but we encourage our participants to get comfortable with being uncomfortable, so that they can grow through the entire process. Congratulations to all of our Fellows for making it through this milestone in our program! Keep up the amazing work!
