Keystone State ChalleNGe Academy for At-Risk Teens Graduates Largest Class in Program History, Offering Life Skills and Career Preparation

75 cadets from the Keystone State ChalleNGe Academy (KSCA) graduated from the 22-week residential phase of the program on their way to a brighter future. The group boasts the largest class size in the program's history.

The KSCA is designed to give challenged teens a second chance at obtaining their basic education and the opportunity to learn leadership, self-discipline and responsibility, while working toward finishing their education and building a better life. The cadets participated in and completed 3,272 hours of community service throughout the program, including volunteering at food banks, assisting with the annual March for the Fallen, along with maintaining cemetery, park and military ceremony grounds.

Along with aiding the community, their efforts are estimated to have saved up to $93,382 in labor costs. The cadets will now complete a 24-month mentorship phase of the program throughout their various communities while they pursue their future endeavors.
