Blue Star Chapters

Our Chapters facilitate engagement opportunities that create cross-sectoral dialogue between military and civilian communities, which can help foster awareness and understanding of military lifestyle challenges. Together with our neighbors, Blue Star Families is building thriving communities of mutual support.

As a military or Veteran family, you should feel not only welcome but also a genuine sense of belonging in your community. Our Blue Star Chapters are here for you every step of the way to provide virtual and in-person support in the form of exclusive events and resources.

No matter where you are on your journey, let Blue Star Families serve as your home away from home.
