Operation: Military Kids

2011 Pathfinders Camp

Operation: Military Kids (a USDA/DoD grant funded program of The University of Arizona Cooperative Extension 4-H Youth Development) reaches geographically dispersed military youth ages 5-18 (All Branches of Service - National Guard - Reserves - Active) throughout Arizona and salutes military kids for their bravery while helping military youth develop resiliency life skills. At the heart of Arizona's programming efforts and outreach are the following programs: Speak Out Military Kids Speaker's Bureaus, OMK Military Youth-Focused Deployment Support Events, Mobile Technology Lab Events, Ready Set Go! Trainings, OMK Hero Pack Deployment Support Programs and a variety of OMK Local Partner Events hosted in partnership with various military and community partners throughout Arizona communities. The goal of Arizona OMK: to connect, support, and foster resilience among Arizona's Geographically Dispersed Military Youth: Before - During - After the Deployment of a Loved One!
