It’s not just Good…it’s Good Business!
Project RELO is a Veterans services 501c3 organization that enables organizations to realize a competitive advantage by hiring US Military Veterans. We work with employers to ensure they are maximizing their hiring investments, while also working with applicants and employees to solidify their preparation, on-boarding and career trajectories.
Together, this combination changes the accepted paradigm of hiring US Veterans simply because it is the right thing to do, to hiring Veterans because it is a strategic business imperative.

FAQ
You have questions, we have answers
What do I need to pack?
With the weather constantly changing in northern Michigan, we provide numerous packing lists to accommodate each person. There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad gear. When you enlist on a mission, you will be provided with a packing list. If you forget something, we always have extra gear to issue.
Are the missions physical?
While there is a level of physicality on the missions, there is no physical requirement. We have controls in place for everybody of every physical level. Whether you run marathons or you just retired from your second career, you will be able to complete a Project RELO mission
Where are the missions conducted?
A majority of the missions are conducted on Camp Grayling in Grayling, MI. There are times when the missions are at other bases, so keep a look out on our Situation Report page.
Can I bring my entire team?
Absolutely!!! What better way to do professional development and team building than to accomplish a military style mission as one!
What is the typical time commitment for a mission?
Project RELO missions are 72 hours in length. The way it is broken down is that day zero is a travel day and we ask that you arrive no later than 1700 hrs (5:00pm) EST that day where lodging is provided. You will then spend two nights in the field, and will depart around 1200 hrs EST on day 3.
I am ready to join a mission, How do I do that?
This is an easy answer. Click on this link JOIN A MISSION and fill out the information. We will receive, review and call you back to discuss the exact details of the next mission you are to attend. It’s that easy.
What exactly do we do on a mission?
Well if we told you, then we’d have to… Wait that comment doesn’t work here. We don’t want to spoil the surprise! Besides, no two missions are alike! You’ll just have to enlist and find out!
I don’t have time to come on a mission, but still want to hire veterans. Can I still be involved in Project RELO?
Absolutely! Although we would love for you to join us and join our family, we understand time constraints and obligations. If you want to be part of the mission, but can’t physically be there, we have you covered. Just contact us at info@projectrelo.org and we will take care of you!
I’m a vegetarian. Are there options to eat for me?
Yes. Prior to every mission, we conduct detailed orientations that capture any dietary restrictions, medical concerns, etc. We adjust our menu accordingly based on people’s restrictions.
