Do the Work: Military Families

Deadline to register is July 20, 2022!

Come join us on a unique military immersion experience where you will get the opportunity to hear directly from military leaders and families on the important topic areas of mental health and child care. During the field trip, you will visit a local military installation, tour an operational unit, and join a roundtable of military personnel in a robust conversation about the unique challenges faced by military families.

Site visits are in partnership with zero8hundred, which strives to help servicemembers transition smoothly into civilian life and the San Diego Military Advisory Council (SDMAC), which advocates for quality of life issues on behalf of our military, those who serve or have served, and their families in the greater San Diego region. We’ll connect with colleagues on how philanthropy has supplemented the federal government and what San Diego has to gain from proactively building up our military families.

Transportation and lunch is provided. Participants will be picked up and dropped off at the Catalyst office.

*Due to operational sensitivity, parts of the field trip will require you to not have access to a cell phone or personal belongings (they will be stored safely and returned afterwards).
