Navy Family Ombudsman Program
The Ombudsman Program is an official Navy family readiness program designed to enhance mission readiness and resiliency and establish a sense of community. The Fleet and Family Support Center provides family support services, information/referral, and support to the Ombudsman Program.
An Ombudsman is an official representative of the Commanding Officer and plays a vital role in maintaining current and accurate communication between the command and it’s family members. The Ombudsman is a volunteer, appointed by the CO, to serve as an information link, who is trained to disseminate information both up and down the chain of command.
Ombudsmen also provide resource referrals when needed. They are instrumental in resolving family issues before the issues require extensive command attention. The Navy Family Ombudsmen Program promotes healthy, self-reliant families and mission-ready Sailors and commands.
