Accreditation is the formal evaluation of an organization/program against best practice standards. It indicates that an organization/program has met the standards set forth by an accrediting body. Additionally, Accreditation empowers the organization/program to perform an in-depth self-review using best practice standards; support an on-site evaluation by a team of experts; have all supporting evidence reviewed and receive a decision from the accrediting body.
With citizen soldiers (or volunteers) in every county of every State affected by Family Programs, Accreditation guarantees standardized services/programs and prevents misallocating resources towards programs or efforts that do not align with the DoD’s intent. Furthermore, Accreditation maximizes the organization/program’s ability to leverage external resources whilst simultaneously minimizing the stress on federal resources.
