The Oregon National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program is an "at-risk" youth program which targets drug free, unemployed and underemployed male and female teens ages 16 to 18. It is designed as an intervention program rather than punitive. The program's mission is to provide work skills and alternative learning opportunities to meet the unique individual needs of students in order to increase positive behavioral and academic skills. The student is better prepared for transition to and subsequent success in his or her next learning or work environment by promoting learning, goal setting and self image building.
