The Navy Office of Community Outreach (NAVCO) coordinates Navy Weeks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are thrilled to bring the Navy to Boston,&#8221; said NAVCO&#8217;s director, Cmdr. Anthony Falvo. \u201cThough our Navy is deployed around-the-world and around-the-clock, the Navy Week program allows us to showcase our Navy in places that don\u2019t enjoy an everyday naval presence. Most importantly, it affords us the opportunity to highlight our most important asset \u2013 the highly\u00a0skilled men and women of the United States Navy who ensure our warfighting advantage to preserve our American way of life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Since 2005, the Navy Week program has served as the Navy\u2019s flagship outreach effort to regions without a significant Navy presence, with over 300 Navy Weeks held in more than 85 different U.S. markets. Each year, the program reaches more than 130 million people &#8212; about half the U.S. population.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cOur mission is to connect with the heartbeat of each community, and we strive to make a lasting impact on the Sailors, partners and community members,\u201d said NAVCO Navy Week program manager, Lt. Caroline Ready. \u201cWe coordinate with corporations, civic and community service organizations, local government, educational institutions, media, and veterans to give the community as many opportunities as possible to engage with their Navy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">For more information on Boston Navy Week, visit<a href=\"http:\/\/outreach.navy.mil\"> https:\/\/outreach.navy.mil<\/a> or contact Lead Planner, Ensign Josh Keim at (901) 232-4451 or <a href=\"mailto:Joshua.a.keim.mil@us.navy.mil\">Joshua.a.keim.mil@us.navy.mil<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boston Navy Week will bring between 50 and 75 Sailors from across the nation to volunteer throughout the community and discuss why the Navy matters to Boston.\u00a0This will be the first Navy Week hosted by Boston and the surrounding communities since 2012.
