Фонд Corvias провел бесплатную ярмарку возможностей для семей военных на базе Форт-Мид

The non-profit Corvias Foundation recently hosted a free Opportunity Expo for Fort Meade military families, connecting them with information, guidance, and resources designed to help them navigate school transitions, explore career opportunities, and achieve long-term success. Nearly 200 adults and children attended, demonstrating strong demand for support resources within the military community. The Opportunity Expo at Fort Meade marked the second stop in Corvias Foundation's growing program that aims to strengthen educational and career outcomes for military families who are assigned to installations where Corvias is partnered with the U.S. Army. Building on the success of its Fort Bragg debut earlier this year, the series will continue at Fort Riley, combining access to valuable resources with activities that bring families together. "Military families are incredibly resilient, but frequent relocations can make it difficult to maintain networks and navigate important education and career decisions," said Corvias Foundation executive director Julie Allen. "By bringing these resources directly to families, we're helping them access opportunities, build connections, and prepare for their next chapter.” Military families relocate on average every two to three years, creating potential school disruptions for the more than 1.6 million military children. Frequent moves can affect everything from academic continuity to support systems and military spouse employment. Through Opportunity Hubs, Corvias Foundation partners with local, regional, and national organizations to help families access information and opportunities that can be difficult to navigate amid frequent moves. For example, at Fort Meade, the U.S. Army’s Exceptional Family Member Program and Fort Meade’s School Liaison Office attended and met with many families to share available resources. The Corvias Foundation, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, has donated more than $20 million to support the education efforts for more than 500 military connected families. Through free events, scholarships, and online resources, the Corvias Foundation remains committed to helping military families thrive. Many Corvias team members based at Fort Meade volunteered their time to support the event, as did employees from Goulston & Storrs.
