San Diego Military Family Collaborative

San Diego Military Family Collaborative More than anywhere else in the nation, active duty military, returning veterans and their families call San Diego home.

www.sdmilitaryfamily.org-The San Diego Military Family Collaborative supports and strengthens the military-connected community through education, advocacy, and engagement. Local research confirms what San Diego Military Family Collaborative (SDMFC) organizations had heard regularly from families: “There are an overwhelming number of services out there….I have no idea where to start!” and “We have

been here several years, I wish I would have known about these programs sooner!”

These stories, and many others like it are what inspired us to form the San Diego Military Family Collaborative to provide one coordinated place where military families can find resources and stay strong, healthy and connected. From six organizations in 2010, the SDMFC grew by word of mouth and today comprises more than 500 representatives from over 200 unique public, private, faith-based, military, and governmental organizations. Social Advocates for Youth, San Diego provides program and staffing support. Together as a community, in partnership with active duty, reservists, veterans, and their families, San Diego will give military men and women the just response deserving of their sacrifice and service.

We had a blast at our February 2026 SDMFC Convening! 🎉

Our incredible speakers shared insights on why staying connected and informed is so important for military families, especially during the PCS process. When families know their resources and build strong community connections, transitions can be much smoother.
