Our theme "Commit to Life" is designed to help youth develop responsibility, good judgment, and commitment to their families, schools, communities, and each other.Veterans visit students in schools, detention centers, and youth organizations to educate and demonstrate support. Veterans also participate in the many programs already in place to support our youth.Students who sign up for our program will be visited by veterans at least five times per year to discuss the core values. Awards or recognition will be given to each student who fulfills his or her contract. This program is done on a community basis with support from the hosting community and local organizations.
