YOUTH & COMMUNITY OUTREACH GOALS

YOUT H & COMMUNITY O U T R E AC H

Family Bonding It is so important for family members to stay connected with the service member and each other, especially when deployments arise. Our Family Bonding programs and events provide structured, meaningful experiences for adults and their children.

Youth Development It is tough being a kid these days particularly when dealing with the stress of being in a military family. Our Youth Development programs help kids cope while providing them with positive, enjoyable opportunities to get to know themselves and each other.

Healthy Living Military parents can become so busy caring for the family and home, in addition to working, that personal well-being falls to the wayside. These Healthy Living programs are based on the belief that mental and physical health are key to personal happiness and a family’s overall well being.

Social Networking Frequent relocations require military families to leave extended family and friends behind. Fortunately, there is a large network of families in San Diego experiencing the same challenge. Our Social Networking programs provide the opportunity to meet new friends and create social bonds in your community.
