National Guard Youth Challenge Builds Self-Worth

This week Adam Aaro, an anchor on the evening news at the NBC affiliate KDVZ in Bend ran a multi-part series The National Guard Youth Challenge. Yesterday I wrote about The Choir, a BBC program that builds self worth among youth in British Schools who do not have a choir singing program.

While the Youth Challenge takes a different approach by basically running troubled teens through a bootcamp type program. The end result is the same.

If you live out of the Bend area you can watch and read the series by following the link above. It is an inspiring story. As Aaro points out in the first installment "The next two weeks will greatly challenge these 150 plus cadets -- and some might not make it."


Respectfully,
