Clearwater County, Idaho – The National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program

Clearwater County, Idaho – The National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program is coming to North Idaho thanks to a combined effort between private businesses, grant-­‐making organizations and the Idaho Legislature. The program will be located at the former Pierce Elementary School campus and will initially add 24 full-­‐time positions with the potential of adding up to 23 more. The program includes a 22-­‐week residential phase that focuses on education and life skills training for Idaho high school dropouts, followed by a yearlong mentoring phase. The first class is expected to begin in January 2014. For more information about the National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program, visit www.ngycp.org.
