Teamhouse.SpecialForcesAssociation.org —
the Special Forces Association members-only website
The original purpose for the establishing the SFA Teamhouse was to bring our member records into a secure and manageable system. In addition to accomplishing this, members benefit by having a way to connect with other members nationwide.
For those considering whether or not to join SFA, many will see how the members-only access to a nationwide SFA brotherhood sets it apart from other groups supporting the SF community. Many other groups offer programs to assist veterans which are similar to SFA programs. But none provide the means for one-on-one networking on any level.
How the SFA Teamhouse website works for SFA members:
- Provides safe, secure, nationwide networking for our unique population.
- Bridges the gap between those in and out of uniform — offering opportunities for service and assistance to both active and inactive members.
- Members can list businesses and locate other SF-friendly businesses.
- Members can find mentors to help with civilian transition.
- Members exiting the military can find support the SF4Life programs.
- An ever growing list of SF Brotherhood resources
