Veteran-Led. Community-Focused. Globally Driven
​From Service to Global Impact
At Transition U, we believe the leadership and resilience of veterans can drive change far beyond the battlefield. What began as a mission to support those who served has grown into a global effort to strengthen communities through financial literacy, development, and empowerment. Our commitment is twofold: to honor veterans by building on their spirit of service, and to extend that service to families and communities worldwide. By combining discipline, experience, and innovation, we are laying foundations for resilience, opportunity, and lasting well-being
Message from the CEO
At Transition U, our mission is clear: deploy financial literacy as a tool for freedom. Too often, financial instability fuels poverty and even illness — when families lack control over their resources, stress rises and health declines.
That’s why our vision is global. From communities in Richmond, Virginia, to villages in Ghana, we are working with families to build financial capability alongside community development. By teaching practical tools—budgeting, debt management, and savings—we’re breaking cycles of financial hardship and replacing them with resilience, opportunity, and well-being.
