National Guard Youth Challenge Program

The National Guard Youth Challenge Program (NGYCP) is a military-style program designed to help at-risk youth aged 16 to 18. It offers a structured environment where participants engage in physical fitness, leadership training, and education to improve their life skills. The program lasts about five and a half months, combining classroom instruction with hands-on experiences. Ultimately, it aims to empower young people to become responsible citizens, graduate from high school or earn a GED, and pursue further education or employment. The NGYCP is a chance for personal growth and transformation in a supportive community.
