Military Family and Youth Liaison (MFYL)

This full-time position was designed to assist military families with needs as they relate to deployment and relocation. The MFYL coordinates and supports efforts to: assess needs, build awareness of resources, and connect those with needs to support solutions. The liaison role provides a connection between families with needs and possible solutions.

The stress placed on families in the midst of relocation or the deployment of a family member can be overwhelming. Support for these families can come from many places, some military-affiliated as well as non-military sources. The MFYL works with agencies and organizations, military and civilian, in our area to help ensure a network of support is in place when needed. The MFYL works with various departments within the Cumberland County Schools to produce materials and programs targeting military families.
