Alabama leaders are working to make life more manageable for the family members and spouses of active duty service members and veterans who are stationed or reside in Alabama.
On Wednesday, Lt. Governor Will Ainsworth announced that the Alabama Military Stability Foundation, the action arm of the Alabama Military Stability Commission he chairs, has collaborated with the Military Spouse Advocacy Network to create the Alabama Mentorship-HUB, a first-of-its-kind resource that provides a range of free programs to military dependents.
“Our goal from our first day in office was to make moving to and living in Alabama as easy as possible for active military members, their dependents, and the veterans who have served our nation,” Ainsworth said. “This expanded mentorship and online program is a large step forward in serving the needs of military families whose love, support, and devotion allow our nation’s soldiers to serve.”

Mentors available through the resource provide firsthand information about Alabama’s military bases and local communities. Military Spouse Advocacy Network Founder, President, and CEO Vernice Castillo, also praised the new online service.
“This collaboration will provide military spouses and families across all branches with a dedicated mentorship experience,” Castillo said. “The HUB offers daily access to peer-to-peer mentorship and connects users to local and state programs and resources, enhancing their support network.”
