A POWERFUL MISSION
Welcome to Active Valor, a combat veteran run 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in San Diego, CA dedicated to giving new purpose to veterans by pairing them as mentors to children of our nation's fallen heroes, referred to as Gold Star Children.
Our program, Valor Adventures, was designed by a former Navy SEAL, envisioned to give new purpose to the lives of those who have served by redirecting their passion towards making a positive change in their local communities. Our veterans are placed in an ongoing mentorship role and given the chance to pass on their profound skill-sets gained from their military career to children that no longer have access to it. Together, our dynamic-duos utilize teamwork & problem solving to overcome different obstacles and challenges to successfully complete their missions.
VIDEO SPOTLIGHT
Valor Adventures is a program designed exclusively for Gold Star families. Through this program, Gold Star children are paired one-on-one with their very own veteran mentor for a day of extraordinary adventure. Together, they get to participate in mission-based adventures that promote problem solving, community building, self confidence, critical thinking, and hands-on fun.
Surviving spouses have their own fun to look forward to during our adventures as well. While their children are saving the day with their mentors, we invite our Gold Star Spouses to join us for their own time of relaxing, fellowship and community-building
Supporting those still fighting for our freedom is important to us, which is why we create the opportunity for you to send personalized care packages overseas, hand-packed by veterans.
