Testimonials
"I want to do a bit of bragging not on my behalf, but about the foundation that is doing a lot of good things to support the warfighter. To be honest, I was skeptical to try 'one of those nonprofit organizations' for transition mentorship but I regret not having gone to them earlier. From day one of my journey through The COMMIT Foundation's Pursue Your Purpose program, I was made to feel that I had joined a partnership that had nothing but my success in mind as a mutual goal. Today, having completed the program, I sand better equipped and more confident to find true success in my transition as well as equipped with a mentor for life, Jason Roncoroni, who translated what I felt were a cluster of nontransparent skill-sets into an arsenal of experience that any organization will benefit from bringing my onboard. Above all else, Jason and the team at COMMIT helped me to realize what a right fit for both myself and my family, combined, looks like. Please, do not wait to see what the COMMIT team is all about…it will benefit you and anyone else on your team!"

"COMMIT connected me with a diverse group of veterans and mentors, who showed me new ways to develop and leverage my network while opening my eyes to opportunities I had never considered."
-George - LtCol, USMC
"I was able to secure a job with one of the companies that COMMIT and I studied during our coaching and workshop sessions. I want to take this opportunity to thank COMMIT for all of your help and support throughout this process. Your support and coaching were critically important throughout the process and one that I believe should be a requirement for every individual separating from the military service."
-Desta, US Army
