Konnect America is a registered IRS 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. As a nonprofit, we reinvest all proceeds directly into services that support veterans in their transition from military service to civilian success.

 

Our mission is to create lasting positive impacts through various initiatives that support education, health, and economic development.

Through our Bravo Shift: A Bold Transition from Service to Civilian Success—Powered by Tech and Mentorshipwe empower veterans with career development resources tailored to their unique strengths and experiences. 

Veterans often face significant challenges when transitioning to civilian life.  One of the most pressing is the “triangulation gap”—the disconnect between military occupational roles and civilian career pathways.  Bravo Shift Labs directly address this gap by helping veterans translate their service experience into marketable skills and credentials.​

'Tactical Take Off" serves as our career launchpad, equipping veterans with digital skills, mentorship, and workforce readiness tools. It’s a strategic approach to employment and entrepreneurship, designed to help veterans take flight in their civilian careers.​ Participants receive personalized career mapping, resume building, and interview coaching, all tailored to their military background and future goals. We also offer certifications in high-demand fields like cybersecurity, logistics, and project management.

Our "Wellness Zones" provide safe, restorative environments tailored to veterans’ unique needs.  BaseCamp Balance offers military-inspired decompression; The Quiet Barracks creates nature-infused spaces for peaceful socialization; and WellForce delivers adaptive wellness for disabled veterans through accessible movement, meditation, and nutrition.

"Heroes, Hounds & Whiskers" - We deeply understand the invaluable role that service animals play in the lives of our veterans. These loyal companions provide not only physical assistance but also emotional support, helping veterans navigate the challenges of daily life with greater ease and confidence. We honor and appreciate the bond between veterans and their service animals, recognizing the profound impact these relationships have on mental health and overall well-being. Our mission is to support veterans by addressing the needs of the animal companions and ensuring they have access to the resources and assistance that enhance their quality of life. Through our dedicated efforts, we strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who have bravely served our country.

Our "Birthday Bridges" initiative spreads joy and a sense of belonging by celebrating the birthdays of veterans, including those experiencing homelessness, in nursing facilities, or without family connections, as well as the widows of fallen heroes. Each thoughtful care package, filled with essentials and gifts, honors their service, reinforcing that they are valued members of our community. This program reflects our deep commitment to honoring veterans and their loved ones, reminding them they are remembered and appreciated.

​​Together, we Konnect Veterans to opportunities, resources, and communities that restore hope, honor their service, and build a brighter future.

 

Join us in making sure every Veteran feel Konnected to a caring community and equipped for a successful transition.
