Our Programs & Impact

Over the past two years, the Museum has significantly expanded its outreach programs, positioning itself as more than just a cultural institution—it's a true cultural home for our Marine Corps family.

Our mission is centered around three key objectives:

Educating recruits and Marines
Supporting the recruiting efforts
Bridging connections with the community

To achieve this, we focus on education, military and veteran support, and community outreach. We believe that the phrase "once a Marine, always a Marine" should reflect our commitment to community building at the core of all our initiatives.
