Our Partnerships
Currently, CAC military partnerships range from robust, long-standing relationships to those who have no affiliation with their military neighbors. Over time we expect these relationships to evolve and expand as the community of interest grows and becomes more aware of opportunities for partnership between CACs and the military. For CACs, military family program staff, and policymakers, you can help strengthen these critical partnerships by getting in touch with us now.
Our Vision
Future goals include highlighting model practices for collaboration and developing supporting training content for enhanced coordination of services between CACs and military installations. Additionally, NCA is working to formalize key Department of Defense relationships with national level memorandums of understanding to help reduce the administrative burden on CACs.
