American Corporate Partners (ACP)

American Corporate Partners (ACP) is a national nonprofit organization focused on helping returning veterans and active duty spouses find their next careers through one-on-one mentoring, networking and online career advice.

More than 1 million veterans are expected to transition from the armed forces to civilian life over the next five years.  ACP engages the American people in a unique volunteer opportunity to provide career guidance to returning military as they transition back into civilian life.

We believe that the biggest issue facing our returning service members is not unemployment – it’s underemployment. ACP focuses on helping veterans and active duty spouses find meaningful employment opportunities and develop long-term careers.

Marine Executive Association (MEA)

ABOUT THE MEA

Marine Executive Association (MEA) – "Networking Core Values"

Like many other organizations, the Marine Corps is known for taking care of its own. What sets the

Marine Corps apart is the high standards of professionalism, discipline, and core values that frame the Marine's character. Taking care of our own is not just a catchphrase, but also an MEA commitment of: 

  • "Marines helping Marines" with a network of over 22,500 connections and opportunities.
  • Shared esprit de corps experiences and inspired value through resume reviews and mentoring.
  • Preparing Marines in transitioning towards a desired profession and return on investment (ROI).
  • Supporting our pledge of "Connecting Marine's Talent with Job Opportunities."

The Marine Executive Association (MEA), a non-profit 501(c)(19), veterans' organization that has been supporting transitioning Marines (active and reserve) for 40-years. MEA is a national, membership, volunteer, non-profit organization of former, retired, and current active-duty Marines who have agreed to share their job hunting and hiring experiences with fellow Marines of all ranks – embracing our culture of "Once a Marine, Always a Marine" –translation Marine for life!

MEA's mission is to assist Marines seeking transition assistance from active duty or reserve/retired status, leaving the Corps at the end of obligated service, or moving from one civilian career to another.

NOTE: MEA does not place Marines in jobs; however, we do provide resources through our network of "Marines helping Marines" seeking assistance as one transitions toward their future employment.

Transition assistance includes:

  • Resume review
  • Job hunting tips and tools
  • Job posting by employers
  • Resume posting by Marines
  • Resume and interview coaching by volunteer Marine

The MEA membership provides a weekly E-Mail list of newly posted jobs (for Marines) and resumes (for employers). Sign up for our weekly letter and other updates below.

Wounded Warrior Project (WWP)

Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) began in 2003 as a small, grassroots effort providing simple care and comfort items to the hospital bedsides of the first wounded service members returning home from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. As their post-service needs evolved, so have our programs and services. Today, through our direct programs in mental health, career counseling, and long-term rehabilitative care, along with our advocacy efforts, we improve the lives of millions of warriors and their families.

This effort requires the passion and commitment of friends, supporters, and like-minded organizations that enable us to fulfill our mission. With their collaboration and support, we strive to ensure that when those who serve come home, they’re afforded every opportunity to be as successful as a civilian as they were in the military.
