Phase One: Pre-ChalleNGe
First Two Weeks:

The first two weeks of the program referred to as Pre-ChalleNGe is structured to orient the Cadet toward Success. During this time, the concept of "me" is replaced by "we", through training that focuses around team building, cultural diversity, physical training, and close order drill. Their time will be filled with group activities, platoon meetings, sports, and platoon competitions.

Phase Two: Residential
Back To School:

Phase Two is our "Back to School" phase centering around instruction for the General Educational Development (GED) test and Life Coping Skills. Computer-assisted learning offers a non-traditional classroom setting. In addition to GED preparation, the Cadets are instructed in many other areas: 

        Hunter Safety
        Leadership
        CPR
        First Aid
        Organized athletics
        Adventure training (rappelling, hiking, land navigation)
        Service to Community Projects 

                    






Phase Three: Post-Residential
After Graduation:

The twelve months following graduation are referred to as the Post-Residential phase. During the residential phase, Case Managers and the Post-Residential Coordinator will work with the Cadets preparing them for their return to the community. They will also train and match mentors to cadets. Service to Community Projects, Resum Writing, Interviewing Skills, Career Day and Military Day are just a few of the events that help round out the Program. Trips to ChalleNGe Invitationals, parades and Washington, DC make the experience complete.
