Since 2012 WOLF Leadership Program occurs annually in beautiful backdrop of Utah Mountains and has helped these youth to prepare for the road ahead in college and future careers.

“Our WOLF Students and come from all around the United States including Alaska and Hawaii,” says Sara Moola WOLF Co-founder.

‘The WOLF program gives all of us such a meaningful and important way to give back to the families and future generations of our fallen SOF brothers and sisters with leadership development, mentoring, résumé workshops and career internships that guide them to success in higher education, and ultimately their chosen careers. -- Mike Vaughn, AFSOC ret., WOLF Co
