At Booz Allen, we’re partnering with the nonprofit Blue Star Families to help military families of color feel more at home and included in the local communities where they live and serve. It’s part of our enduring commitment to the nonprofit that has lasted for more than a decade. As the military works to build a diverse all-volunteer force, ensuring a sense of belonging and community is an imperative for force readiness.
As part of groundbreaking research in its Campaign for Inclusion (CFI), Blue Star Families has surveyed military families of color annually since 2020. Creating an intentional space to listen to military families of color, the goal is to better understand how racism and discrimination impacts them—and, by extension, how it impacts overall military readiness.
