Shining Service Worldwide™ is a charitable organization that supports the women who are an integral part of the military community.  Our goal is their successful re-integration to civilian life.   

Too often women in the military community fall through the cracks and don’t get the attention they deserve, or more importantly, they need.  We want to help provide those resources.  

Our focus is on jobs, health, finances and transitional housing. 

Shining Beacon House New York City: 

The home is a planned structured environment focusing on a woman's successful road to self-efficiency through community living.  Women veterans with children face special challenges.  The Shining Beacon House transitional living opportunity will help deserving women veterans keep their families together safely as they work toward successful re-integration to the New York City community. 

The Power of Ten Life Skills Program: 

This online program is designed to help our women find jobs, improve their health and hone their financial skills.  The Power of Ten goes beyond the existing veteran's programs available to insure a woman's success moving forward.

Our fully stocked online resource library, informational teaching videos provided by 10 highly-acclaimed experts and ongoing support are what these women tell us they need and we are filling that need.

A certificate is issued to each woman upon her successful completion of the program.  She then continues her education with our extensive network of referral partners. 



Shining Service Makeovers: 

Our inspirational beauty events are featured in first class salons and spas all over the country.  They are designed to show our country's appreciation for all the women connected to life in the military.  A makeover mission "deploys" a select mix of deserving women for a day of beauty, pampering and personal styling advice. 

Shining Service Worldwide™ is proud to be a special project under the umbrella of our Fiscal Sponsor, United Veterans Beacon House, Inc, a not-for-profit charitable organization dedicated to providing transitional housing to our nation’s veterans.

Our work is based on the principle that if you empower a woman a woman and give her the proper tools, she will be equipped for a successful reintegration back into civilian life. Founder, Linda Franklin, a former Wall Street executive, now a women's social empowerment advocate, is the Executive Director of Shining Service Worldwide.
