Military Families Outdoors Program
Armed Services YMCA

ASYMCA runs more than 150 programs around the world to ease the burden of the families of junior-enlisted military personnel. Some are carried out at single ASYMCA branch locations. Others operate at multiple branch locations and are customized to meet the specific needs of that community, ranging from recreation and fitness to educational and financial support.

"The Sierra Club Foundation grant provides a rewarding outdoor camping experience for hundreds of military kids as well as military families. They'll have an opportunity to learn more about nature and most importantly, take time away from the stress of deployment," said Armed Services YMCA National Executive Director Frank Gallo, Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy (Ret). "The ASYMCA is proud to have the Sierra Club as a partner in our mission to support America's military families."
