New York National Guard Youth Program
The youth and child program is one of the best support networks offered by the military. It addresses the needs of our military youth including deployment issues, the offering of safe activities, a place to meet, talk, and have fun with youth who understand each others issues. With the program, kids who would otherwise never meet because of location can develop friendships and bonds with other military youth. Issues such as an increase in responsibility, shortage of money, and separation anxiety are addressed by peer members under supervision of caring adult leaders.
