The National Guard Youth Program supports Guard Youth, in their community and throughout the deployment cycle. The National Guard believes it important to the mission to support readiness and resilience of National Guard Families. The Youth Program forms relationships with schools, chaplains, military police, and national youth organizations to deliver programs more effectively. It is our hope to bring Guard Youth together to form new relationships.

 

PURPOSE
