What it reported doing in 2024

Youth programs - children of the Utah national guard face a unique situation in the schools and peer groups. Typically they are the only ones they know of that have one or more of their parents deployed for a year or more. The youth program activities help to bring children that are facing the same situation together. Their shared experiences help the children cope with the pressures that they face from being a military family.
