Battle Born Youth ChalleNGe Academy

Fun activity day for the Cadets! #bbyca #battleborn #battleready

Clean up before the BIG FAMILY DAY!! #bbyca #Challenge #youthchallenge #battleborn

The candidates are slowly getting used to life at BBYCA. They got their PT clothes boots, and canteen belts so that they can always have access to water. Today they’re writing the first letter home, so start checking your mailboxes! #bbyca #battleborn #BattleReady #challenge

Day 0 is a success! We look forward to the growth of our candidates for class 2024-1! #bbyca #battleborn #battleready #challenge #youthchallenge #youthchallengeacademy

On October 31st, our cadets got to visit the career fair. One of the booths was Transfr, a career exploration company! They use VR to help anyone get a better understanding of the daily tasks and expectations for a variety of jobs! #bbyca #battleborn #battleready #challenge

We cordially invite you to Class of 23-2 graduation! #bbyca #battleborn #battleready #challenge #youthchallenge #youthchallengeacademy

Message from Director Ponder

@robbtim176 Thank you!

If you know anyone that might be interested in the program for a student they know or think you’d like to come work for this truly impactful program, check out @BattleBornYCA on their website: battlebornyouthchallenge.org

The @NVNationalGuard operates 3 youth education programs in Nevada - @BattleBornYCA, STARBASE High Sierra and STARBASE Henderson. Last Friday I got to check out STARBASE High Sierra’s new facility and watch them cut the ribbon, officially opening the new location to students.

BBYCA wants to spotlight Cadet PFC Forsyth, Cadet SGT Connery & Cadet CPL Burlingham for being awarded the R.A.R.E award. Rare to us is someone respectful, has a positive attitude, takes responsibility & sets a positive example for their peers!

This past Monday we awarded our previous Platoon Guides and Guidon Bearers ribbons of completion right before passing the torch to our new PGs and Guidons.

Congratulations to more of our hard working cadets for completing the Job Skills portion of the 8 Core Components! #jobskills #corecomponents #youthchallengeacademy #youthchallenge

Today’s Awards & Promotions, we had the pleasure of awarding Cadet CPL Alexander our Recruitment Certificate of Appreciation. This certificate represents the hard work and commitment our cadets have toward growing the BBYCA legacy through recommending our program to their peers.

Today our cadets enjoyed the opportunity to visit Ruby Shadow Ranch sponsored by Nevada Cattlewomen! So much was learned and many animals got some additional love from our excited cadets. Thank you again for having us Ruby Shadow Ranch! 🫶🏽
