Approximately 124 cadets graduated from the NGYCP-Idaho Youth ChalleNGe Academy June 14, giving them a chance at a brighter future. Academy graduates have gone on to attend college, participate in Job Corps, complete vocational education, or join the U.S. Military, including one graduate who participated in the Presidential Inauguration Air Force Honor Guard. The goal of the program is to give youth a second chance to become responsible and productive citizens by helping them improve their academic standing, life skills and employment potential. The program employs a highly structured format with an emphasis on student discipline and personal responsibility, and to provide a positive, safe and secure learning environment. Since 2014, the program has provided more than 2,000 Idaho high school students a second chance at finishing high school. Congratulations cadets! #congratulations #cadets #youthchallenge #secondchances
