The National Guard Youth Foundation is a national 501(c)(3) that supports the 37 National Guard Youth ChalleNGe programs across the country. We aim to grow the program to accommodate more youth in need of a second chance, raise awareness of the program, and provide scholarships, career readiness programs and access to job opportunities to graduates of the ChalleNGe program. NGYF engages in partnerships to provide these services and opportunities to the ChalleNGe program and its graduates.

The mission of the National Guard Youth Foundation is to foster program awareness, advocate for the program goals, and provide scholarships, training and workforce transition assistance to the graduates of the National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program.
