Please support the Athena Foundation today!  The opportunity to participate in the inaugural Tribe25 cohort was supported through generous donations.  This was a truly transformative experience. The combination of outdoor engagement and acts of service within a supportive community honed my leadership skills; building my confidence and helped me to make meaningful connections with a truly exceptional group of women Veterans!

Inspiring women veterans to rediscover purpose, leadership, and sisterhood through transformative outdoor retreats.

At **The Athena Foundation**, we believe the mission doesn’t end when service does.
We are a women-veteran-led nonprofit dedicated to **empowering, connecting, and supporting female service members and veterans** through **nature-based retreats and community engagement**.

Our **Two Checkpoints to Home** program helps women veterans **rediscover purpose, build confidence, and reconnect** with a community that understands the unique challenges of life beyond the military.

In partnership with leading veteran organizations, Athena brings together women from all stages of service and transition for **immersive outdoor experiences** designed to restore leadership, resilience, and belonging.

During each checkpoint, **powerful conversations unfold**—stories of strength, loss, and renewal that remind every woman: *you are not alone.* Together, participants share challenges, laughter, and healing while reigniting the sense of purpose that service once provided.

Over a three-year journey, these shared experiences blend **reflection, leadership development, and adventure**, creating a lifelong sisterhood of support that extends far beyond the retreat.

**The Athena Foundation — igniting purpose, inspiring connection, and lighting the way forward for women service members and veterans.**

*Make a Difference. Support the Mission.*
