Strengthen the lives of America's youth
Young Marine units are community-based programs lead by dedicated adult volunteers. Many of these volunteers are former, retired, active duty, or reserve Marines who believe passionately that the values they learned as Marines had a positive affect on them. It is through these caring adults, military and civilian,
that Young Marines learn the inner values of Honor, Courage and Commitment.
Time and Effort
They volunteer their time and effort to pass these values on to youths in their respective communities
before other destructive influences take root. Adult volunteers are individually screened by the National
Headquarters based on background information and recommendations provided with each person's registration.
