CHILDREN OF THE MARINE CORPS
The Marine Corps is not only about service members and veterans. It is a big family, and their children are part of it.
Children of marines grow up in difficult times. Many of them have experienced long separations from their parents, relocations, losses, uncertainty, or other consequences of war. At the same time, they are the future of our community and of Ukraine.
We believe that no child of a marine should be left alone with their problems or needs. Our mission is to unite the children of the Ukrainian Marine Corps into a single community of support, development, friendship, and new opportunities.
TOGETHER WE SEEK OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR CHILDREN
The public organization “Veteran Corps of the Ukrainian Marine Corps” systematically works to find and engage various opportunities for the children of marines.
These may include recreation and wellness programs, educational projects, sports events, creative clubs, children’s camps, international exchanges, scholarship programs, material support, and other initiatives aimed at the development and support of children.
To effectively represent the interests of our families and promptly inform them about available opportunities, we are creating a database of children of the Ukrainian Marine Corps.
We invite parents or legal guardians to fill out a questionnaire regardless of family category. We collect information about children of:
- Active service members of the Marine Corps
- Veterans of the Marine Corps
- Fallen marines
- Prisoners of war from the Marine Corps
- Missing marines
Filling out the questionnaire does not guarantee specific assistance, but it allows us to take children’s needs into account, inform them about new opportunities, and involve them in programs and activities implemented for the Marine Corps community of Ukraine.
