🇺🇸 Military Child of the Year Awards
Operation Homefront is accepting nominations for the Military Child of the Year Awards! While this award is for older students, we wanted to share it since we have so many military-connected families in our community.Military-connected youth ages 13–18 are eligible, including children of active-duty, National Guard, Reserve, retired, and Gold Star military families.
Seven recipients (one from each military branch) will each receive $10,000, a laptop, and a trip to Washington, D.C. Anyone can nominate a deserving military child!
Nominations close December 1! Learn more or nominate a military child here.
Thank you for your continued partnership! We are so grateful for our EM community. Have a great weekend! Take care.
