Unlock a Path to Leadership, Service, and Upward Mobility

OPERATION SLINGSHOT connects students from under-resourced communities—especially those without military family backgrounds—to military commissioning pathways, mentorship, life planning skills, and financial literacy.

WHAT WE DO

ACCESS

We introduce students to military commissioning pathways as gateways into higher education that are often unknown or underexplored.

GUIDANCE

We connect students with mentors who have successfully navigated these paths.

EMPOWERMENT

We provide life planning advice, financial literacy, and career knowledge to SLINGSHOT into a successful early career!

WHAT IT MATTERS

Military commissioning is one of the most effective—and underutilized—pathways to socioeconomic mobility in the U.S.

  • Access to fully funded higher education - bachelor’s and master’s degrees.

  • Financial stability through a military officer’s paycheck.

  • Military retirement investment opportunities.

  • Leadership experience with responsibility.
