The mission of the American Legion Youth Corps is to collaborate and motivate 8-12
year old children from the community, producing program graduates with the values,
life skills, education, and self discipline necessary to succeed as productive
citizens and to give a sense of duty back to the veterans of the American Legion.
VISION
We will build the foundation for a continuum of support across military and civilian
communities that enable veterans, military families, and the children of our community
to thrive.
Goal 1
The first year cadet is the introduction to the training of self-discipline, team
building, and leadership development. It is designed to introduce the cadet's
interpersonal communication, team building skills, and basic leadership skills and
principles. Upon completion of this program, the young cadet will have a basic
understanding of leadership principles and who they want to be as a leader in the
future.
Goal 2
The ALYC hopes to have the second year or returning Private/Private First Class and
Specialist's to teach self-discipline, team building, and leadership development.
Returning graduates is the second step of leadership fundamentals in the Program.
Privates, Private First Class and Specialists will practice interpersonal
communication and problem solving and will define and refine who they are as a leader.
Upon completion of this step, the returnee will have a strong base of leadership skills
and a working knowledge of group dynamics.
Goal 3
The returnees that age out of the program will be advanced to a SGT, SSGT or Officer in
the Advanced Leadership of the program. These leaders will have exhibited exceptional maturity
and leadership skills in their units. Adult leaders often call upon these young leaders to
handle leadership situations and provide the inspiration to those under their charge, and will
stay at camp for an additional day to concentrate on leadership skills and training. This will
also be a prelude to them being sponsored to the American Legion Boys and Girls State.
