Army Family Action Plan (AFAP) is an Army-wide program to improve Army quality of life by creating a forum to voice concerns to Army leadership and make recommendations for change.  Each year Army Reserve Youth from around the world are selected to attend the AR AFAP Conference and develop issues to be presented during the conference.   If you are interested in participating in the next AFAP as a Youth Delegate, please contact your CYS Regional Coordinator Locator.

Operation: Military Kids is a partnership between the Army Reserve CYS, National Guard, 4-H, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Military Child Education Coalition, American Legion and many other community-based organizations.  OMK provides support and resources to military youth before, during, and after parents are deployed.

Speak Out for Military Kids (SOMK) is an educational program designed to raise the awareness of issues facing military families. SOMK participants become members of speakers’ bureaus and develop lectures, public service announcements, videos, and other materials to share their experiences with others in the community.

The goal of this team is to establish and implement a Child & Youth Services Program that addresses the Army Reserve's child care, youth development, and school transition needs through community-based programs. This means they will bring AR Soldiers and families up-to-date information on services available to them in their own communities, create activities relevant to today's AR youth, educate the community about the AR youth's unique needs, and establish avenues of support to meet them. There are several programs already in place, including free summer camps, free leadership activities, reduced child care rates, and more!  To locate the Army Reserve CYS Regional Coordinator near you, go to CYS Regional Coordinator Locator
