- Summary:
- The National Guard Youth Challenge (ChalleNGe) program is a residential, quasi-military program for youth ages 16 to 18 who are experiencing difficulty in traditional high school. This report covers the 2022-2023 program year and is the eighth in a series of annual reports that RAND researchers have issued over the course of three research projects. The previous National Guard Youth ChalleNGe annual reports cover program years 2015-2016 through 2021-2022. Each annual report documents the progress of participants who entered ChalleNGe during a specific program year and then completed the program. This report includes information on participants who entered the ChalleNGe program in 2022, as well as some follow-up information on those who entered the program in 2021. This report draws primarily on quantitative program- and site-level data but also on the authors' analyses of the literature, quantitative data describing the civilian labor market, and conversations with program staff. Caveats to be considered include some documented inconsistencies in reported data across sites. This report will be of interest to ChalleNGe program staff, personnel providing oversight for the program, and policymakers and researchers concerned with designing effective youth program initiatives.
