Operation Us is a project started by Forest Institute and Ozarks Marriage Matters to promote healthy marriages, relationships and families. The work of the Operation Us project is sponsored by the efforts of our community partners, both in Springfield and in the surrounding counties. Many of our events and workshops are available at reduced costs, thanks to a federal grant received in 2006.
Whether your're a teen, a single adult, or in a relationship - dating, married, remarried, whatever - we've got a program for you. Expecting a baby? We've got you covered, too.
