Family Services - Employment Readiness
Employment readiness affords spouses, soldiers and teenagers the opportunity to develop a career, or become employed. The ERP provides information and referral services in the areas of employment, education, training, transition, and volunteer opportunities to give family members a competitive edge needed to secure employment in their mobile Army life. Job preparation workshops may include job search, interviewing skills, career dress, career planning, and self-assessment.

Family Services - Financial Readiness
Financial Readiness offers a wide range of services to assist Soldiers and their family members with their financial affairs. Emphasis is on training designed to educate Soldiers and spouses in money management, proper use of credit, and check writing principles. The Financial Readiness program also instructs Soldiers and family members in consumer awareness to assist them in making sound financial decisions. The Army Emergency Relief Program (AER) provides limited emergency financial assistance and emergency food lockers and vouchers.

Family Services - Volunteers
Volunteering for community service is a longstanding tradition in the Army. In the early years of our country's history, volunteers mended uniforms, cared for the sick and wounded, and comforted families of fallen Soldiers. Today, Soldiers (active duty and reserve), spouses, civilians, and retirees volunteer in schools, hospitals, on sports fields, in teen centers and in many other on-post programs as well as the surrounding community. ACS is the central information point for volunteer opportunities in the community.

Family Services - Army Family Action Plan
The AFAP uses input from Soldiers and their families, and civilian employees of the Army to inform the Army leadership about what is working and what is not, and makes recommendations to fix it. Through AFAP, issues of concern come to the attention of commanders and Army leaders, giving them the opportunity to work on resolving the issues. Many AFAP issues have resulted in raising the standard of living for all branches of service. AFAP is a year-round process; issues are continually being monitored and worked toward resolution at local installations, major Army commands, and at headquarters, Department of the Army.
