There are almost two million children who have a parent or guardian serving in the United States Armed Forces. Roughly three quarters of those military connected youth are 4-18 years of age. Military connected youth can be found in every school district in the country. With only one active duty base in Ohio (Wright Patterson Air Force Base), the importance of education/community outreach could not be greater when it comes to supporting the social, emotional, and academic needs of these children.

“Thank you for this great opportunity. My oldest son used this program and improved his ACT score significantly.” Merriann McKillip, Military.com “Thank you for making this possible. As a single parent who just retired from the military, I did not have the financial resources at hand to spend thousands of dollars on ACT/SAT prep classes for my children. Both of my children are straight A students and they deserve the best opportunities for improving their chances to enter college. Thanks to your support, I can use my resources to make visits to college campuses and for college application fees instead. You have been a true blessing!.” Nancy Dubose, Military.com
