Find out more »The mission of the Marine Corps Family Team Building Program at Henderson Hall is to provide programs and services to encourage personal growth and strengthen the family for continual readiness. These programs are free of charge. We face a unique challenge here at Henderson Hall because the Marines and the families we serve are spread throughout the National Capital Region. However, we strive everyday to reach out to those families whether they come here to us or we go to their commands to reach them. Marine Corps Family Team Building is comprised of six programs aboard Henderson Hall.
