Common questions

Programs are open to any service member, male or female, with verifiable service in a Special Operations Command (SOCOM) unit. Whether the service member was an operator or support personnel, the requirement is to have been assigned to a Special Operations unit.

SOAF hosts guided adventure retreats and expeditions that emphasize teamwork, physical challenge, and time in remote natural environments. These experiences recreate the sense of purpose and camaraderie familiar to Special Operations veterans.

SOAF programs are not clinical therapy, but they are intentionally designed to promote stress relief, mental reset, and personal reflection through shared experience, challenge, and peer support.

SOAF relies on donations from the public as well as sponsorships from the local business community. SOAF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation.

We are always in need of volunteers to assist with local events, provide venues for our retreats, or offer their expertise with guiding or leading expeditions. Donations are also essential to continuing to provide these experiences to veterans. If you would like to be part of the mission, please reach out and contact us.
