Honoring Our Veterans: Inspiring Tomorrow’s Heroes

This Veterans Day, we’re saluting the courage, dedication, and heart of our nation’s heroes - and we’re excited to shine a light on a new initiative that’s close to ours: the Military Mentorship Program.

Designed for youth in foster care across Northeast Florida who dream of serving, this program pairs them with real-life veterans. These mentors aren’t just sharing stories, they’re offering guidance, leadership lessons, and hands-on support to help these young people build confidence, resilience, and purpose.

Picture this: a foster youth learning directly from someone who’s been there, someone who knows the challenges and triumphs of service. Every conversation, every lesson, every bit of encouragement can help change the trajectory of their life. That’s the kind of impact we’re proud to create.

This program isn’t just about preparing youth for a career in service - it’s about connection, growth, and opportunity. It’s about showing them that no matter the hurdles they’ve faced, their dreams are possible.

We’re proud, we’re inspired, and we’re ready to see these young Floridians step into their potential. Meet the incredible veterans leading the way and see how, together, we’re shaping tomorrow’s heroes.
