Our Programs

From classrooms to boardrooms, we equip leaders to serve with character and purpose.

Developing Civic Leaders for Every Stage of Life

The Fellowship Programs empower youth, students, and veterans to grow as values-driven civic leaders. Through structured training, community engagement, and mentorship rooted in the values of the Medal of Honor—Courage, Integrity, Commitment, Sacrifice, Citizenship, and Patriotism—our Fellows develop the character, leadership skills, and service orientation necessary to lead change in their schools, communities, and careers.

Enhancing Leadership Education Through Collaborative Engagement

The Partnerships Program collaborates with educational institutions to enhance existing leadership programs through Medal of Honor values and stories, interactive case studies and associated character skill development experiences. We provide customized resources, curriculum integration options, and experiential learning opportunities that complement and strengthen partner initiatives.

For Individuals Ready to Begin Their Values-Based Leadership Journey

Our Inspired Leader Series provides accessible entry points for leadership development through short, impactful courses available on popular e-learning platforms. Each course offers practical strategies and inspirational insights to help learners incorporate Medal of Honor values into their professional and personal lives.

Empowering the Next Generation of Values-Based Leaders

The Civic Leadership & Professional Development Program equips emerging and established leaders and organizations with the tools to lead with courage, integrity, and purpose. Rooted in the core values exemplified by Medal of Honor recipients, this program cultivates character, emotional intelligence, and practical leadership skills to build high-trust, high-performing teams through custom, tailored, and open educational programs for individual learners and organizational partners.

Developing Leaders through the Values of the Medal of Honor

Leadership and character development are lifelong journeys, and we strive to provide opportunities for people from all walks of life. We want to make leadership resources more accessible so everyone can learn from our Medal of Honor recipients and leadership experts. The Leadership program will offer a broad range of programs, courses, materials, and learning experiences to adult learners at all different stages of their leadership journey – whether in a boardroom, a classroom or in their personal lives.

Our programming will help leaders in organizations build a values-based culture. Values are important for decision-making, and they are especially important in dispersed organizations where junior leaders and staff make autonomous decisions. This curriculum aims to help learners prepare to meet their own moments by putting them in interactive scenarios and situations that ask them to exercise the values of the Medal of Honor in the process of making tough decisions.

Programs will be available to everyone, no special invitation needed. But they are geared toward those that already hold a deep commitment to honoring the MOH recipient values of:

Integrity

Commitment

Courage

Sacrifice

Citizenship

Patriotism

Recognizing that leadership is a lifelong journey, we want to expand access to values-based learning and leadership resources for diverse adult learners, including those who might not otherwise have such opportunities.
