Challenge Accepted: An Inside Look at the New Jersey Youth Challenge Academy
New Jersey National Guard
May 12, 2014 | 3:16
Join us as we follow several cadets from Class #40 in the New Jersey Youth ChalleNGe Academy as they rise to the challenge of completing their New Jersey High School Diploma at the NJYCA's military style academy.
Episode 1: Acclimation Phase:
Included in the Residential Phase is a two-week Pre-ChalleNGe probationary period during which applicants are assessed to determine their potential for successfully completing the program. During this initial phase, applicants have an opportunity to adjust to the physical, mental, and social discipline of the program. The focus is on teamwork, close order drill, code of conduct, leadership and followership practicum, and physical fitness training. For those applicants who successfully complete this phase, they earn the distinction of becoming a full-fledged cadet. Over 90% of these cadets will successfully complete the program.
Every two weeks you can expect a new glimpse into the daily lives of your cadets as they progress through the program
