You and the Community
Community Outreach is defined as an endeavor by an organization to connect its ideas
or practices to the efforts of other organizations, groups, specific audiences or
the general public. The National Guard Family Program Community Outreach focuses
on connecting Guard families with local, regional, and national organizations in
support of their everyday lives at home.
Partnerships
The National Guard works closely with the local, regional and national communities
to link their services to the services already available to the Guard. We have formed
partnerships with the following organizations:
- Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW)
- American Veterans (AMVETS)
- Disabled American Veterans (DAV)
- American Legion
- United Service Organizations (USO)
- America’s Adopt A Soldier
