Join the team

Help us build the Foundation from the ground up.

The Esprit de Corps Foundation is new, small, and building deliberately. You’d be joining a foundational team — the people whose work sets the norms, seeds the programs, and shapes the culture that everyone who comes after will inherit.

That means real impact and real challenges. Systems that don’t exist yet. Programs still being written. Room to bring your ideas, own something end-to-end, and see your fingerprints on it. The upside is significant — the trade-off is that some things won’t be polished and you’ll help figure them out with us.

If you want a mature machine to plug into, this isn’t that yet. If you want to build something enduring for veterans, military families, and the community around them — and you can bring time, expertise, or a specific skill — we’d love to hear from you.

Not ready yet?

You can also start with a one-off volunteer shift at volunteer.espritdcf.org. Many of our team members started that way.

“We show up because it matters. Every hour, every meeting, every event. That’s the ethos. That’s the ask.”
