Casey's Story

From Inspiration to Impact

What if you did everything “right,” but had to create a new career from scratch every few years? What if your own goals always seemed to take a backseat to interstate moves, a spouse’s grueling schedule, and little access to affordable childcare — and you weren’t even sure what those goals should look like? That’s where Casey McClosky found herself when, in 2023, she submitted an application for ACP’s Active Duty Spouse mentoring program.

Adam's Story

From Guidance to Gratitude

Transitioning out of the military is an exciting step for many service members who ar eager to embark on the next phase of their career. But the leap into civilian life, in its speed and uncertainty, can also resemble a heart-pounding trip through whitewater rapids. Whether you have been in for four years or 24, having a Mentor rowing beside you can offer safe passage through choppy waters.

Daniel's Story

From Wisdom to Wins

“There is nothing more American than a great comeback story.” That’s what ACP Mentor Brad Rossi told his Protégé, Navy Veteran Daniel Kelly, after their first mentorship meeting. Brad sensed that Daniel’s incredible trajectory – from Sailor, to convicted felon, to current MBA candidate – would inspire and motivate those lucky enough to hear it.
