Operation Heroes Connect

Welcome to the Official Fan Page of Operation Heroes Connect. Founded in 2011 we want to give back to the communities that have continued to support us.

With so many children in need of a positive role model in their lives, as service members and veterans I think it's time that we answer that call!

What is Operation Heroes Connect?

Founded in 2011, Operation Heroes Connect is an organization that partners veterans as full time mentors to local at-risk youth. The organization facilitates an annual summer camp program in which 75-100 local youth from the D.C., MD, and VA areas are afforded the opportunity to attend a week long overnight summer enrichment camp for free. With so many children in need of a positive role model in their lives, as service members and veterans I think it's time that we answer that call!
