- Summary:
- National Guard Youth ChalleNGe is a residential, quasi-military program for young people ages 16 to 18 who are experiencing difficulty in traditional high school. This report covers the program years 2021–2022 and is the seventh in a series of annual reports that RAND Corporation researchers have issued over the course of two research projects. Each annual report supports the program's annual report to Congress and documents the progress of participants who entered ChalleNGe during specific program years. In this report, the authors provide information on program participants in 2021, as well as some follow-up information on those who entered the program in 2020. This report draws primarily on quantitative program and site data but also draws on analyses of existing literature, quantitative data describing the civilian labor market, and qualitative data collected from virtual site visits and interviews. Caveats to be considered include some documented inconsistencies in reported data across sites and the short-run nature of many of the metrics reported here.
