| Program Description | |
| A second chance for high school dropouts to shape a rewarding future for themselves and earn a diploma!!!! This New Jersey National Guard ChalleNGe Youth Program, sponsored by the State of New Jersey and the National Guard, is a second chance for (potential) high school dropouts between 16 ½ and 18 years of age. The Program is 17 ½ months in duration, including 5 ½ months in residence at Fort Dix. Our cadets learn the skills necessary to pass the GED Exam, gain discipline and life skills. The Program is a 17-month, three-phase program. The Program offers teenagers between the ages of 16 and 18 the opportunity to change their lives and make a future for themselves. The first phase, called Pre-ChalleNGe, is two weeks in length. The second phase is twenty weeks and is called ChalleNGe. These two phases are residential. The third phase is the mentor phase and is conducted within the cadet’s community. In this Post-Residential phase, the cadet will meet with a mentor once a week for twelve months. To be eligible to enroll in ChalleNGe, you must meet the following requirements: Males and females between the ages of 16 through 18. Any high school dropout or potential dropout. U.S. citizen and legal resident of the State of New Jersey. Free from involvement with the legal system. Not currently on parole or probation, not charged with a crime, and not awaiting sentencing. Candidates must volunteer. This is not a traditional “boot camp.” Must be free from use of illegal drugs or substances (candidates will be tested randomly, and upon arrival for Pre-ChalleNGe). No use of tobacco products. Must be unemployed or under-employed. | |
