Our Mission
51 Vets is a nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting veterans from elite military communities with top business professionals.
Our Staff and Mentors facilitate success in the private sector by offering networking opportunities, direct career placement, mentorship, and additional resources tailored to our members' superior skills and abilities.
Our members primarily come from Special Units within the U.S. Military, such as the Navy Seals, U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Berets), Marine Special Operations (MARSOC), and Naval, Air Force, and Army Aviation Units.
In essence, these Veterans seek to embark upon their next challenge beyond the uniform.
