OSD provides a toolkit and guide for Installation Child Development and Youth Center Opening Ceremonies. The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Office of Family Policy/Children and Youth is providing this guide to assist program and installation staff in the planning of Groundbreaking and Opening Ceremonies. To that end, we have collected information from the Military Services and professional staff to prepare this guide.
