The COMMIT Foundation and 51vets Forge Strategic Partnership to Enhance Support for Veteran

The COMMIT Foundation and 51vets are pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to enhance the support and services available to veterans. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in providing comprehensive, complementary programs tailored to the unique needs of veterans within their respective networks.

Through this partnership, The COMMIT Foundation and 51vets will share valuable resources, including detailed program information and regular updates. This initiative ensures that veterans utilizing services from either organization will have seamless access to a broader range of support and opportunities.

“The COMMIT Foundation’s mission is to empower veterans to transition successfully into post-military live, and partnering with 51vets allows us to extend our reach and impact,” said JC Glick, CEO of The COMMIT Foundation. “By working together, we can create a robust support system that addresses the diverse needs of our veterans, enhancing their opportunities for growth and success.”

51vets, known for its innovative programs and strong community connections, will join forces with The COMMIT Foundation to develop joint initiatives aimed at addressing specific challenges faced by veterans. These initiatives will focus on career development, mental health support, education, and community integration, ensuring that veterans have access to a holistic support system.

“We are thrilled to partner with The COMMIT Foundation,” said Lindsey Schiro, CEO of 51vets. “This collaboration will allow us to combine our strengths and provide a more comprehensive suite of services, making a real difference in the lives of veterans. Together, we are committed to enhancing the resources available to veterans, helping them thrive in all aspects of life.”

Both organizations are excited about the potential of this partnership to create innovative solutions and impactful programs that will benefit the veteran community. By leveraging each other’s expertise and networks, The COMMIT Foundation and 51vets are set to make significant strides in supporting veterans on their journey to success.

“Both 51Vets and the COMMIT Foundation have been instrumental in my transition from the Navy Special Operations community into the civilian world,” said veteran Matt Byington. “Specifically, the COMMIT Foundation's small group functions and individually tailored program allowed me to integrate these into an already hectic journey. The executive coach provided by COMMIT was fundamental in my exploration of where I think I'd fit best in this next phase of life, and the tech workshop they hosted in Palo Alto gave me the ability and confidence to tell my story in a compelling way. Ultimately, the networks, mentorship and community provided by COMMIT and 51Vets led me to finding a role as a Venture Capital investor at a Tier 1 firm - something I know would not have happened otherwise."
