Discussion group leaders are military spouses who facilitate the learning process by using a mentoring style of presentation. The climate is informal, with a nurturing and supportive structure and format. Participants receive real life tips, information on Marine Corps culture, and available resources to enable them to help themselves. This is a great way to adjust to this new lifestyle they joined when they married a Marine. No-cost child care is provided to participants.
Attendance is voluntary.
The program is also open to civilian Marines, as well as other service spouses located aboard Marine installations. Spouse mentoring teams are given a training program to enhance their existing facilitator skills.
