I spoke with a group of Youth Challenge Academy cadets from Class 48, during their tour of the Capitol on April 17th. It was the 4th of 5 groups I'll speak with this session when they visit the Capitol. Class 48 started out with 105 cadets and there are now 97 cadets in this class. I speak every year to the whole class right before they graduate, and made them promise they'd be there for that... I let the cadets know how much I believe in this program and am proud of their commitment to see it through to the end. The military has a special place in my life – especially YCA in Kalaeloa (formerly Barber Point NAS). I told the cadets that I live just down the street, and I have the distinct pleasure of hearing their bugle blasting at reveille very early each morning.
The mission of the National Guard Youth Challenge Program is to intervene in and reclaim the lives of 16-18 year old high school dropouts, producing program graduates with the values, life skills, education, and self-discipline necessary to succeed as productive citizens. In just 5 ½ months, these at-risk teens get a second chance to obtain their GED diploma, while learning important life skills. It's not easy, and many don't make it through to the end. But many of the cadets do, and even continue their education after graduation. Some choose to join the military or enter the workforce. Read through some of the comments left by cadets on the Hawaii Youth Challenge Academy Oahu Facebook page. Their stories tell it all. Hawai’i’s YCA program has been recognized as one of the nation’s most effective for at-risk teens, and its value never ceases to amaze me. The YCA has been changing the lives of young men and women since 1998, leaving a positive mark on the Hawaiian community that will last for years to come. Keep up the good work cadets and see you at graduation in June. #changinglives #hawaiistrong #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #OURfuture #youthchallengeacademy #hawaiinationalguard
