FOCUS Marines Foundation
ABOUT FOCUS MARINES FOUNDATION
The FOCUS Marines Foundation was created in 2010 by Marines who served in the Corps years ago. Following active service they lived productive and rewarding lives. These Marines, many of whom saw combat in Vietnam, understood firsthand the issues of transitioning from military to civilian lives and were determined to help this new generation of Marines and veterans who served during the war on terror.
FMF developed a week long program called FOCUS, located west of St. Louis, Missouri. The program is conducted four times each year with a maximum of 25 per class. Participants arrive on Saturday and depart the following Saturday. Sunday is spent building class energy and cohesion. Monday – Wednesday focuses on “Who Are You? & Who Do You Want To Be?” Thursday – Friday addresses “What Do You Want To Do? & How Are You Going To Make It Happen?” The entire FOCUS program and travel are provided free of cost to participants. To understand how effective the FOCUS program is, please read through the Graduate Testimonial found on our website.
To date, nearly 1,160 post-9/11 veterans from the Marine Corps, Navy, Army and Air Force have attended FOCUS. Marines and Navy Corpsmen comprise a majority of each class. Attendees have ranged in rank from Private to Lieutenant Colonel, and in ages from 21 to 65. They came to FOCUS from throughout the U.S. These veterans return home with new-found self-respect and purpose.
Since the beginning, over $12.5 million in private donations have funded the FOCUS effort. Hundreds of patriotic volunteers have tirelessly supported FMF’s mission with impressive results. Following graduation, continuing communications between FOCUS staff, volunteers and graduates provide further mentoring to strengthen the positive impact FOCUS has done for them.
