The N.C. National Guard Child and Youth Program offers many different programs year-round. They offer a teen council that meets monthly during the school year that develops leadership skills in teens, community service and enhances the lives of other N.C. National Guard children by being their voice. Each year, two one-week retreats/camps are hosted for military children. A teen retreat is hosted for ages 14-18 and a youth camp is held for ages 6-13. The Yellow Ribbon Program that prepares families and children prior, during, and after deployment is also supported. Their programs also support any active duty, reserve, retired or Gold Star child who does not live on or nearby a military post/ installation.
It’s easy to see why military children are superheroes and should be recognized. Be sure to check out how Month of the Military Child was celebrated across North Carolina and the world.
