Nominations are now being accepted for the Military Child of the Year Award. Operation Homefront hosts the award, now in its 19th year!
The awards are open to military children between the ages of 13-18. There are seven recipients, one child from each branch of service and each recipient receives $10,000 CASH, a laptop, other donated goodies, and a 3-day trip to Washington, D.C. with the Operation Homefront team and their families.
Children are entered by nominations. Anyone who knows a military child can nominate any military child. So, you may nominate your students, friend’s children, and children can nominate their siblings and best friends and so on.
The awards are open to Active Duty, reserves, Gold Star, National Guard, AND retired military children.
The program is entirely FREE and exclusive to military children, and you do not need to create an account to submit a nomination.
If you know a military child, we would love to hear their story!! We would also appreciate it if you would help us get the word out there to your military communities and families!
Nominations are open now and will remain open until December 1st.
Thank you for supporting military community!
