The Journey of the Military Child

The 2022 MGS will be a hybrid event. We are excited to once again be planning an in-person component, but will provide a virtual component for folks unable to come to DC.

Our Global Summit will draw on a whole child and holistic approach to military-connected youth and feature session content exploring:

• Well-Being (balancing emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental health for #MilKids)
• Academics (strategies and policies that provide access to opportunity and foster learning)
• Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (practices that promote respect, dignity, and mutual concern) 
• Purple Star Schools (MCEC is the National Advocate for this state-by-state model of best practice commitment to serving the unique needs of military-connected students)
