Project Title: Empowering Futures: Educational and After-School Support for Children and Teens of Fallen Veterans Affected by Service-Related Illnesses
Project Description:

This project is designed to provide educational and after-school activity support for children and teenagers under 18 who have lost a military veteran parent due to cancer or illnesses related to their service. These children face unique challenges, both emotionally and academically, as they navigate the loss of a parent, often compounded by the stresses of dealing with service-related illnesses before the loss. The project aims to fill a critical gap by offering a supportive, structured environment where they can receive academic assistance, emotional support, and opportunities for personal growth.

Many children in military families experience school disruptions due to relocations and the emotional strain of military life. Losing a parent can further impact their academic performance and social engagement. This program will offer tutoring and educational support tailored to their needs, ensuring they stay on track academically while also promoting personal resilience. In addition, the after-school activities will provide them with a safe and supportive space to engage in creative, physical, and social activities, helping to build a sense of community and belonging.

The project also addresses the emotional and psychological needs of these children and teens by incorporating grief counseling, peer support groups, and mentorship from adults who understand the unique experiences of military families. This holistic approach ensures that participants receive academic support and the emotional care they need during this difficult time.

By fostering academic achievement and emotional well-being, the program will help these children and teens develop the tools they need to thrive despite their loss. It will honor the sacrifices made by their parents and empower them to build bright, successful futures.
