The Young Marines strengthens the lives of America’s youth by teaching the importance of self-confidence, academic achievement, honoring our Veteran’s, good citizenship, community service, and living a healthy and drug-free lifestyle. The Young Marines promotes its member’s mental, moral, and physical development. The program focuses on character building and leadership and promotes a lifestyle conducive to being productive members of society.

 

We are not a program for youth with serious disciplinary problems, substance abuse issues or lengthy histories in juvenile court. We are not a recruitment tool for the military nor are we a youth bootcamp.
