Building a Lifetime Community for Military Brats.
Brat Corps® is building more than programs; we are building permanent institutions.
Brat Corps® is the founding organization of an expanding family of mission-driven institutions created to strengthen military brat communities through lifelong belonging, leadership, heritage preservation, philanthropy, and community development.
As our mission grows, specialized organizations allow us to focus expertise, develop sustainable resources, and build permanent institutions while remaining united under one shared vision.
Together, these organizations form the Brat Corps® Institutional Network™, working collaboratively to serve military brats across every stage of life.
