2023 Month of the Military Child Toolkit
Every April, Military Community and Family Policy collaborates to support and celebrate military children and their parents during Month of the Military Child. Together, we’re featuring resources from across programs to help families discover the wealth of information and support they can turn to throughout the year. This year’s theme, Taking Care of Our Military Children, focuses on and promotes the variety of programs and support available to help military children, youth and teens and their parents thrive.
Let’s celebrate and support military children together
Wear purple. Promote Purple Up Day on April 3 and show your appreciation for our extraordinary MilKids.
Check out the wealth of resources available to military children and parents. Invite your network to explore and share the podcasts, webinars and other resources available to military-connected children, youth and teens — and their parents.
Spread the word about the MilKid appreciation items. Throughout the month of April, items will be offered to families free of charge including Pop Its, lunch boxes, back pack pins and sticker sheets.
Download the social media toolkit. Use our sample social media posts to share content on your social channels to help us amplify efforts and resources to support military youth, and attach our signature block with this year’s emblem to your emails to show your support.
