Overview

The Youth Challenge Program (YCP) recruits, enrolls, and trains at-risk youth who have left high school without a diploma to complete their GED and receive life skills training. The program is structured with military-style discipline, drill and ceremony, self-control, and motivation. Its eight core components are academic excellence; life coping skills; vocational training; responsible citizenship; leader/followership; health, hygiene and sex education;

physical fitness; and community involvement/community service projects. The program is drug-free, gang-free, and tobacco-free. The 22-week residential program provides a safe environment where the core components are achieved through individualized instruction. Graduates pursue postsecondary education, vocational-technical training, full-time employment, military enlistment, or combinations of these. Campuses are at Fort Stewart in Hinesville and Fort Gordon in Augusta, Georgia. YCP has graduated over 20,000 cadets since its inception in 1993.
