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

  • Offer military youth opportunities to develop confidence in both competitive and non-competitive activities.
  • Ensure military youth have the tools and resources available to them during the deployment cycle.
  • Support guard youth by building relationships with other guard children.
  • Encourage youth to donate time to their community.
  • Promote military youth to have positive attitudes and highlight basic core values.
