What we do
OneOp is a single-point-of-entry professional development resource for family service providers. We collaborate with the US Department of Defense (DoD) and the US Department of Agriculture to provide free and open-access learning opportunities within a full spectrum of family service subject areas. Our long-standing DoD partnership allows us to meet the professional development needs of service providers with programming that reflects complex and dynamic DoD priority areas.
As a virtual organization with global reach, we facilitate the connections and shared knowledge required of providers within DoD’s Military Family Readiness System.
OneOp provides free continuing education credits, DoD-approved multidisciplinary programming, and access to a network of like-minded professionals.
Professional development opportunities
We believe that smart and connected people can change lives. Providers are powerful when they work together as a ready, knowledgeable, and networked community. This power can transform the military families they serve.
