Because everyone needs a place to call home.
Growing up "Military Brat" or "TCK" has a profound effect on an individual's life. It shapes the way one thinks, feels, and behaves; as a child and as an adult. For over 15 years, Brats Without Borders has been a voice for this invisible subculture, whose numbers are in the millions. We were the first 501(c)(3) nonprofit run by brats and for brats of all ages and branches of service, and in many ways, we still are.
Welcome to our site! Explore the life of brats and TCKs. Find out ways you can give back to your tribe. You may not be "from" a particular geographical location, but you do belong to a wonderful, global, borderless nation of individuals just like you. Welcome home.
