Turn Care Into Credit
Care Is Leadership. Care Is Legacy.
In military-connected families and communities, care is a form of leadership.
It is not secondary work, it is the work that makes everything else possible.
Children & Teens
Children and teens often step into roles of:
-
Emotional support
-
Household stability
-
Sibling guidance
-
Translating new environments
-
Managing transitions and deployments
-
Holding family memory and continuity
This labor is real. It is formative. It shapes identity. And it deserves to be seen.

Care As Cultural Continuity
In the military child community, care is how:
-
Legacies are passed forward
-
Stories are held
-
Belonging is sustained
-
Community is protected
Care is how we remain connected, no matter where we go.

The Purpose of TCCSH
Turn Care Into Credit ensures that youth who carry care roles are:
-
Recognized
-
Affirmed
-
Valued
-
Credited for the leadership they already practice
This is not charity. This is not sympathy. This is recognition.

What "TCCSH" Does
TCCSH translates care work into:
-
Community service hours
-
Leadership documentation
-
Portfolio / college / scholarship recognition
It takes what has always been present and names it, with dignity and honor.

Why It Matters
For many military-connected youth:
Care is the first leadership they learn.
TCCSH acknowledges that care is:
-
Skilled
-
relational
-
emotional
-
cultural
-
and deeply generational
It is how we rise together.
