Veteran Mentors Are Inspiring Students Nationwide This Summer
This July and August, TMF Veteran Mentors are providing a day of mentorship and backpacks of supplies to thousands of youth nationwide through Back to School Character Days. These events—taking place in over 70 communities across the country—ensure our youth have the resources they need for a successful school year and the character education they can use as a foundation for years to come. With every $30 gift, you can sponsor the experience and a backpack of supplies for one student.

Laying a Foundation Through Back to School Character Days
Back to School Character Days exemplify the ripple effect of TMF’s youth mentoring program. When Veteran Mentors demonstrate their commitment to youth by providing education and supplies for the upcoming school year, those students are then more equipped to see how leading with character can make a difference at their school and in their community. Together, we can help our Veteran Mentors open a door for our nation’s youth to see the power of character in action.
