Families
Through our research and program partnerships, we ensure that wherever American military families go, they can always feel connected, supported, and empowered to thrive – in every community, across the nation, and around the globe.

Blue Star Families, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, is offering FREE admission for active-duty military and their families at over 2,000 participating museums, children's centers, and zoos this summer!
