We can provide a focused, relevant, collaborative, and secure environment for transitioning Green Berets. The Next Ridgeline program provides current and former transitioning Green Berets with the tools and resources that they need to be successful in their new careers, while the VA Benefits & Claims Program provides them with pre-transition briefings and preparation, presentation, and prosecution of an original or updated VA Disability Claim.

THE Next Ridgeline

The Green Beret Foundation’s Next Ridgeline program recognizes that no two Green Berets are alike. So, in order to be effective, our program goals strive to provide a self-driven, individualized experience. This will allow each Green Beret to utilize the sources, networks, and opportunities that are unique as he is. By leveraging a diverse group of veteran organizations that specifically work in select areas, the Next Ridgeline program will work to develop each Green Beret’s own core capabilities, enhancing his performance in our focus areas and creating a superior individual who is prepared for transition into the civilian world.

HERE WHEN YOU NEED US

“When I got out, the biggest obstacle that I had was finding my purpose. What was I going to do to fulfill my intrinsic motivational needs, my happiness, and also my output to the community around me? The GBF played an integral role in my transition by connecting me to likeminded Green Beret veterans and resources, whether through the introduction to other Green Beret entrepreneurs or attendance at GBF events, the Green Beret Foundation has always been a vessel or platform for us to communicate and outreach each other.”

– Anthony Aguiniga, Green Beret and CEO of Woobies Shoes
