from military to civilian

we are here!

#stand

FreedomSystem.org is on a mission to stand for something, for people that are looked over in the civilian market. Connecting the military civilians with one another in order to promote healthy living and help with skills that are not taught to those that get out.

#programs

FreedomSystem.org has several programs that will help our Veterans from a martial arts program, that helps get veteran’s connected with other local veterans, to career and life skills that the military does not teach to their retiree’s and/or members that get out.

#support

FreedomSystem.org’s support the veteran, the veteran’s family members, and veteran’s employers or potential employers. Educating the civilian population about the military mindset, and how to overcome the barrier of military to civilian communication.

Who We Are?

FreedomSystem.org is a federally recognized 501c3 organization committed to connecting Veterans with a wide range of valuable services. Among the various programs offered by FSO is a martial arts program, a mountain bike association, softball teams, and employment training based in Northern Indiana, designed tosupport Veterans in their journey toward well-being and community integration.

Who We Help?

FreedomSystem.org helps Veterans, their families, and their employers to bridge the gap between military veterans and the civilian world.

Who Can You Help?

The most impactful ways to support us are by sharing our organization with your Veteran friends and family, informing them about our programs. Additionally, if you wish to contribute financially, we welcome monetary donations. Furthermore, we’re constantly in search of volunteers for both our programs and our annual benefit supper!
