One of the issues facing military youth and families is the lack of community
awareness of the unique stressors and challenges they face during times of
conflict and war. This lack of understanding by the general public can make
military youth feel isolated and misunderstood.
Speak Out for Military Kids (SOMK) is an educational program designed to raise
the awareness of issues facing military families. Through youth-led simulations,
interviews, and research participants find out first hand what military families
go through. Based on their experiences, SOMK participants become members of
speakers' bureaus and develop lectures, public service announcements, videos,
and other materials to share their experiences with others in the community. In
addition to building public awareness about issues facing military families
during mobilization and deployment, SOMK provides its youth participants with
the opportunity to gain valuable leadership, research, organization, technology,
and public speaking skills.
