FAQ
Some quick answers to common questions.
I would like to hire veterans. How do I let Mission43 know about job opportunities?
Mission43 connects Idaho employers with transitioning military members, veterans, and military spouses preparing for their next career. Our Idaho-based employment team, in partnership with Hire Heroes USA, provides one-on-one transition support and career matching. If you are an employer with open positions, you can share your opportunities with Mission43, and our employment team will work to match qualified candidates from our network.
How do I donate to Mission43?
Mission43 is a fully funded initiative of the J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Family Foundation and does not accept donations. If you are interested in supporting veterans and military families in Idaho, we are happy to recommend partner organizations doing important work in this space.
Where did Mission43 get its name?
Idaho is the 43rd state!
Does Mission43 host events outside of the Treasure Valley?
Yes. While Mission43 is based at the Idaho Outdoor Fieldhouse in Boise, we offer events and opportunities across Idaho throughout the year, along with options for virtual participation. Some programs take place at our headquarters, and in certain cases travel support may be available for participating members.
How do I find out about upcoming events or programs?
Information about Mission43 events and programs is available on our website, with all events posted on the Events page. Members can also stay up to date through our monthly newsletter and email communications. Be sure your Mission43 profile includes your current email address.
I don't live in Idaho. Can I still access services?
Our services are focused on helping people transitioning out of the military and living in Idaho. If you are out-of-state and are thinking about moving here, then you should absolutely sign up and work with our team. We want to make Idaho a serious possibility for you because this is a great place for military families after the service!
I'm not a veteran, can I join Mission43?
Yes, you can select "Civilian Supporter" during membership registration. Some of our specialized support services are only available to military members and spouses, but our engagement opportunities are inclusive of civilian members. It's extremely important to have you because the military community needs to integrate back into the civilian community after service, not the other way around.
Is Mission43 only for post-9/11 veterans?
No. Mission43 offers opportunities for veterans and military spouses from all eras to participate. However, our programs and priorities are focused on those transitioning from military service into civilian life.
