About
Do Your Part is a multi-sector coalition seeking to help solve the interlocking challenges that military families face.
Military service is a desirable lifestyle for mission, camaraderie, and adventure, but the challenges are keen.
A national- and community-level response is the key to addressing the interlocking issues military families are facing. No one individual, organization, or institution can achieve this change alone; this requires a whole-of-society response.
Blue Star Families is leading the way by using data to develop human-centered design solutions with a coalition of partners to address the necessary ecosystem change.

It's just common sense.
We must work together to support our military families.
The Do Your Part coalition is led by Blue Star Families with support from Craig Newmark and craig newmark philanthropies.
