Description

The Military Families Program supports active military and veteran families, including children in 3rd through 6th to reduce stress for participating parents/caregivers; Increase knowledge of community resources; Improve social support for participants; and Enhance youth self-esteem. Operation Strong Families & Operation Hero will meet 2 evenings per week for one hour at the same time. Operation Strong Families (OSF) is a 10-week targeted program designed for active duty and veteran families. Our goal is to make the Tampa YMCA a local destination where these families can grow in health, connectedness, and mental wellness. Operation Hero (OH) is an enrichment program designed to address issues faced by many of our military youth. The program is for children who experience academic difficulties and children who demonstrate difficulty dealing with emotions or other barriers.

Please register as a family. At least one adult family member must be active duty Military or a military veteran (including reservist) and at least one child family member must be in grades 3-6.
