About the Caregiving Youth Student Leadership Program
The Caregiving Youth Student Leadership Program was established in 2023, to help military-connected youth in caregiving roles identify resources as well as increase knowledge and skills to help prepare for life after high school. High school caregiving youth, representing all branches of the Armed Forces including National Guard and Reserves, are invited to apply. Caregiving youth are students who contribute and provide physical and emotional support and care for a family service member who may have seen and/or unseen injuries.
Students engage in leadership activities and lessons focused on preparing to be college-, work-, and life-ready following high school graduation.
MCEC is pleased to offer the program through two sessions, February and October, in San Antonio, Texas. Applications for the fall session will be accepted soon.
The Caregiving Youth Student Leadership Program is supported through partnerships with the Elizabeth Dole Foundation, USAA, and the University of Texas, San Antonio.
