The Armed Forces Support Foundation 501(c)(3) was established in 2006, along with Hire A Hero, with a mission to plan, promote, and execute programs to assist members of the United States Armed Forces transitioning back into civilian life. Our Flagship program Hire A Hero is the foundation of our platform that provides a professional networking platform to help returning service members connect to the greater military community. Our research and experience suggest that conventional job boards fail to identify the specific needs of returning service members and did not effectively connect them with the greater military community. Hire A Hero is a national program that was created to address this gap.
Our successful and innovative approach has been recognized by Time and Infoworld Magazines. In September 2008, Time Ranked Hire A Hero Number 11 out of 21 ways to "Fix America." Hire A Hero was also in Infoworld Magazine as one of the top 100 websites in the world and received accolades for the creative and effective merging of business savvy and technical solutions to veteran employment.
