Turning Experience into Opportunity
for Colorado Veterans

The transition to civilian life brings many challenges to Colorado Veterans. They leave military service with valuable experience, workforce skills, and a proven ability to lead. But what made them successful in the military does not always translate into success in the private sector.  And Veterans often don’t know what career paths are open to them, or what their first steps need to be.

Your gift will help a Veteran turn the experience they’ve gained through military service into opportunity in the civilian world.

It can help them understand how their skills translate, navigate new professional expectations, and build the relationships and confidence they need to move forward.

Your support helps a Veteran build what comes next.

A new career. A new opportunity. A new chapter.

And a future built on everything they’ve already accomplished.

What program grads say about Salute Colorado

Gerald M. – Valor Bridge Alum: It was such an honor being part of Salute Colorado Valor Bridge. To all the presenters and companies who gave their time to help our transition, thank you! The brotherhood created with this group will last a lifetime. I am now interning with ESPN and they have helped make the transition into this new chapter of my career both exciting and rewarding.

Cameron G. – Valour Journey Alum: The community that Salute Colorado has established is incredible, and I am grateful to call myself a part of it. Going from infantry to accounting is quite the 180, and I know I would not be where I am today without their support.

Nick K. – Valor Bridge Alum: Transitioning into the next chapter of life is a journey that is best navigated with a strong community of friends, family, and professionals. I am incredibly grateful for Salute Colorado and the amazing professionals across the Front Range who generously shared their time, expertise, and insights with myself and the other service members that participated in the program.
