METTLE & MOXIE: A 3-Day Weekend Event to Refresh, Refuel, and Reset

The Mettle and Moxie 3-Day Weekend Event is the Special Forces Charitable Trust’s signature program.  For over 50 years, Special Forces and their families have endured arduous training and deployment cycles with no end in sight.  While these war-torn families express amazing resilience daily, there is no denying the negative impacts of the ongoing stress felt within their families. Our Mettle and Moxie 3-Day Weekend Events are designed to encourage Special Forces service members and their families to refresh, refuel, and reconnect. 

A Mettle and Moxie Event is defined as a 3-day weekend chalked full of educational information and activities presented to both adults and children (together and some separately) led by experts in their fields of the topic. The leading experts center upon the physical, emotional, and mental challenges that families encounter in their daily lives.  They are committed to actively working with these families to promote healthy, helpful strategies.  These events provide new concepts and skills that can be immediately implemented in their personal and professional lives. 

Events are open to all families whether it's a single service member, a couple, or those with children.  Each event is individually designed for a specific Special Forces Group based on the unique challenges they face.   Every session takes into consideration the single service member, the couple, and the family with children.
