An Innovative Nonprofit
Project RELO transforms corporate America’s perspective on the value and
character of our veterans through intensive and immersive business leadership
training exercises. We do this by pairing small teams of executives with
transitioning vets on an exhilarating, outdoor and off-road leadership curriculum.
Run like a military operation, participants bond over both scripted and unscripted
adversity, forging deep and meaningful relationships as they are forced to rely
upon one another to navigate through prepared objectives.
The veterans, domain experts in these environments, capably demonstrate their
knowledge, selflessness, mission orientation and ethic. It is here the character
and competence of veterans is experienced first-hand. It is also here Project RELO
begins to change the mindset of corporate America on the quality of our veterans.
Attending executives understand that participation requires service. Upon the
completion of every Project RELO event, each group of business leaders is
presented with the profiles of 100 veterans they have collectively committed to
place in their network. With the intent of ensuring that as many of the 100 vets
are hired, the newly formed network collaborates with the new understanding…
…that hiring a vet is more than a social good, it is simply good business.
Our Aspiration
Project RELO intends to place 400 vets into our business network in 2016. By
2018, we intend to have grown both the business and partner networks to a scale
where we are capable of placing 5,000 veterans annually
