Exciting opportunity to join an organization that is dedicated to supporting the military community.
For the past 19 years, Give an Hour has been dedicated to providing life-saving mental health support to our military community. In the wake of 9/11, we recognized the urgent need for mental health services for those who have sacrificed so much for our country. Since then, we’ve proudly supported countless military members and their families, and now, we’re looking for passionate individuals to join us in that mission.
About the Military Mile Project
Our latest initiative, the Military Mile Project, is a critical effort aimed at preventing suicide among active-duty service members.
