What is OMK?

Operation Military Kids is collaboration between numerous organizations designed to build community capacity to support our military youth in geographically dispersed locations.

We were started in 2004 with 5 OMK states and now include 49.

How does OMK operate?

•  State 4-H Military Liaisons lead OMK State Teams consisting of representatives from the National Guard, Army Reserve, the Military Child Education Coalition, Boys and Girls Clubs of America, the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies, The American Legion, Schools, and other community organizations.

•  MK state teams work to create networks of youth workers, educators, counselors and community service agencies in communities across the state to support military children and youth.
