I was in the Young Marines for almost 10 years, and it completely changed my life. I learned the values of leadership, citizenship, and how to become a better individual. I had so many opportunities to travel that not a lot of people got at my age. I fell in love with the program because of all of the different friends I made from all across the country. It helped me network and make lifelong friends. The traits that I developed in the program are currently helping me in college, and will continue to help me for the rest of my life.

Our Mission

The core mission of the Young Marines organization is to fundamentally influence the trajectory of America’s future through the delivery of high-caliber developmental programs for both boys and girls. Our programs are meticulously designed to nurture and cultivate a robust set of values, including leadership, teamwork, and personal responsibility, among the youth. These programs not only aim to instill a profound sense of discipline and respect for themselves and others but also encourage a healthy, drug-free lifestyle through educational initiatives and active community involvement.
At the heart of our mission lies the commitment to foster a generation that is well-prepared to meet the challenges of tomorrow with confidence, integrity, and a deep-rooted desire to contribute positively to their communities and the nation at large. By participating in our diverse range of activities, from community service projects to leadership training sessions and outdoor expeditions, our young members gain invaluable experiences that shape their character and broaden their perspectives.
