The Key Spouse Program is an outreach effort of the Airman & Family Readiness Center and part of the Year of the Air Force Family initiative.
The program uses commander- or first sergeant-appointed spouses in units to help address concerns and issues of the Air Force families. These volunteers offer support, information and a personal connection to available resources as well as serve as a link between the unit commander and the families.

We don’t ask them to come up with training programs for other standardized positions such as superintendents or first sergeants. I want to see key spouses as a standardized position because their addition to the unit completes the team.
