Rhode Island Operation: Military Kids

in kids' lives to ensure that staff is attuned to the unique needs of military youth and families.

Did you know that here are nearly 6,000 kids from Military Families in Rhode Island, and that there are military families in every town in Rhode Island?
When military deployments happen in our state, these military families have to cope with stressors that most of us can't even imagine. Military kids are our neighbors, our teammates, our students, patients, clients and friends.
To reach out to these military youth and families, Operation: Military Kids was formed. Nationally, it is a partnership of U.S. Army Child & Youth Services and the 4-H Youth Development Project.
In Rhode Island, it is a program of The University of Rhode Island' s College of the Environment and Life Sciences' Cooperative Extension 4-H program.
To help you better understand the impact of the deployment cycle on military families, youth and the community as a whole, the Rhode Island Operation: Military Kids State Team invites you to attend a free, 2-day-long educational session called Ready, Set, Go!. Space is limited; but the trainings are free and open to all.
This year's training is being held on July 26-27 from 9-5 at the URI Kingston Campus. If you work with kids, Ready, Set, Go! Can help you better serve Rhode Island's military families. Teachers, coaches, counselors, youth program leaders and others who serve families can all benefit from Ready, Set, Go!
Ready, Set, Go!
Teaches the community about
• Military culture
• The mobilization cycle (deployment, homecoming, reunion)
• stress and coping
• Grief, loss, and trauma
• Resiliency
• Media influences.
