One Less Mountain

Description

One Less Mountain exists to help military veterans in the transition to civilian life by providing a sense of purpose, direction, and community.

We are a veteran led non-profit that exists to facilitate the transition from military to civilian life. Our flag ship program, the Ascent Team Initiative, provides opportunities for veterans to lead a team that completes a community service project for a cause that they are passionate about. Our goal is to build a vast network of partnerships with existing non profits so as to ensure a variety o f different causes and projects that veterans can then choose from and support. We will fund these projects and, depending on their scale and complexity, award the veteran team leader with a monetary community service award, that can be put towards furthering their education or professional ambitions. This is a great way to for veterans to be a part of something bigger than themselves, to do something that matters, to create a new network, and to utilize and harness their military skills in a civilian environment, and by doing so, enhance their professional resume. The transition can be a difficult journey at times, but having a sense of purpose, direction, and community can help you "embrace the suck."
