The Young Marines, a national youth organization dedicated to fostering leadership and citizenship, is actively recruiting new members aged 8 to 18. The program emphasizes community service, self-discipline, and maintaining a healthy, drug-free lifestyle.
Led by dedicated adult volunteers, the local units provide a supportive environment for youth development. Meetings take place at the AMVETS Post 18, located on Green Street in Stephens City, beginning at 13:00 on the first and third Sunday of each month. This structure allows young participants to engage in meaningful activities that promote personal growth and community involvement.
Participation in the Young Marines offers numerous benefits. Members not only develop essential leadership skills but also learn the importance of service to their communities. The organization aims to instill values that will guide youth throughout their lives.
For those interested in joining or seeking more information, potential members and their guardians can contact Desire Dowdney at 540-622-7224 or via email at [email protected]. The Young Marines encourages all eligible youth to take part in this enriching experience.
