FAQ | Coastal Seva

You've got questions, we've got answers.

Do you cover travel?

The Coastal Seva Foundation does not pay for the costs of travel at this time. We are able to communicate with resources across the community to potentially assist with travel, especially for those individuals where air travel would be required.
Can I bring my kids?

We do not have the ability to provide childcare at this time.
How long does the waitlist last?

The Coastal Seva Foundation was founded for the singular purpose of healing and improving the lives of all of Special Operations wonderful team. Priority is given based upon time in which an individual registers on the waitlist and or the various programs for those in the community that need the most help (i.e. SOCOM Care Coalition, Phalanx Program, etc.)
What do we need to bring?

After participants are chosen a welcome email will be provided with all necessary information for items to bring.
Do I need to take leave or can I go PTDY?

It is for the individual Chains of Command and their legal teams to decide if leave is required or if PTDY can be authorized. It is worth noting, every individual that participates in our retreats does go through a legal review that ensures compliance with federal law in the support of our soldiers.
Is this like a marriage retreat?

In no way is this like a marriage retreat. This is for our Special Operations service members and spouses but is meant to give each individual tools going forward to improve their lives. It does not focus on the relationship between you and your spouse. However, when you each figure out healing your own self, the positive relationships in our life flourish as a side effect.
Is this only for individuals that are married?

Everyone from our community is welcome to attend. Single individuals as well as those in committed relationships can feel free to register for individual retreats and will be selected in the same fashion as our married individuals.
What is the cost to sponsor a veteran or service member?

For a single veteran or service member, the cost is $900 and $1800 for a couple.
Is there a way to help outside of donating?

We are always looking for individuals that would like to volunteer outside of monetary donations. Whether it's helping with a resource you may have (great merchandise to share, ways to print materials, technology/design support) or even helping spread the information about the foundation, please reach out to us. The stronger our community, the greater impact we can create!
