April is Month of the Military Child!

Operation Military Kids salutes children of military families and recognizes the importance of military children whose parents serve our country!

Alaska is home to more than 21,500 military children who are often described as "resilient," "proud," and "faced with sacrifices." How can you be a part of this month long celebration? You might recognize military children that are part of your community through a school assembly, at your 4-H club, have Military Child Appreciation Day at your local youth center or Boys and Girls Club, or simply tell them "thank you."

For more information about Operation Military Kids, call 377-4130 or 474-1909. For a listing of Month of the Military Child in Alaska, click here.

In Alaska 4-H, we are celebrating our first "Give a Gift to Alaska 4-H" fundraising campaign. Help support the Alaska 4-H program's efforts in positive youth development and see a legacy continue in our great state!
