Why we are different
We work with Veterans and youth, as they are the two most underserved populations in our society. Veterans offer unique experiences in adapting to and overcoming obstacles that we can share with at-promise youth.
At-promise youth learns the team concept and being bigger than themselves while contributing to community and getting real-world experience. We offer at-promise youth guidance to success in life.
It was an honor and privilege to serve our country. But our job isn’t done… Courage Forward is how we plan to fulfill our commitment to better our community through Veteran support networks and at-promise youth intervention, education and support.
Our Team
Veterans, active duty, reserves, civilians… All focused on the important tasks at hand, inspiring, teaching, learning.
