BRAT CORPS® NATIONAL RESOURCE CENTER
Resources. Guidance. Connections. Opportunities.
The Brat Corps® National Resource Center is a comprehensive resource hub designed to support military brats, families, educators, communities, organizations, and partners throughout every stage of the military-connected journey.
Military brat experiences extend far beyond childhood. They shape identity, education, careers, relationships, leadership, and community across a lifetime. Our Resource Center exists to provide trusted information, practical tools, and meaningful connections that strengthen military-connected communities while preserving military brat heritage for future generations.
Whether you are a military brat searching for community, a parent navigating military family life, an educator supporting military-connected students, or a city interested in becoming a Military Brat Friendly Community™, you'll find resources designed specifically for you.

OUR COMMITMENT
The Brat Corps National Resource Center is continually expanding through research, partnerships, and collaboration.
Our goal is simple:
To ensure that every military brat, every military-connected family, every educator, and every community has access to the information, tools, and opportunities needed to strengthen belonging, leadership, resilience, and lifelong connection.
Because military brat support doesn't end after a PCS move—or when a parent leaves military service.
It continues for a lifetime.
One Community. All Generations. One Legacy.
Once a Brat. Always a Brat.
