TYSONS, Va., Sept. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The PenFed Foundation, a national 501(c)3 founded by PenFed Credit Union, announced today that it is providing The COMMIT Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering those who serve and their families, with a grant to support the expansion of COMMIT's Transition Mentoring Workshops aimed at enhancing the post-service transition experience for veterans and military spouses.

Veterans, mentors, and coaches gather in Bozeman, Montana for a COMMIT Foundation Transition Mentoring Workshop.

The COMMIT Foundation's Transition Mentoring Workshops are designed to address the unique needs of military families, offering mentorship from experienced professionals and resources tailored to individual career and life goals. By fostering connections and providing practical guidance, these workshops empower participants to thrive in their post-military lives.

The COMMIT Foundation's mission aligns with The PenFed Foundation's mission to empower veterans as they transition from military service to success in civilian life. The PenFed Foundation was created in 2001 and has provided more than $55 million in financial support to veterans, active-duty service members, families, and caregivers.
