The Hoosier Youth ChalleNGe Academy  Hoosier Youth ChalleNGe Academy is a community based residential program for at-risk youth of Indiana between the ages of 16-19, who are struggling academically. For more information and to see if your child qualifies, please visit our website at http://www.ngycp.org/in. Available for download are informational brochures on the Hoosier Youth ChalleNGe Academy, the national Youth Program, and the National Guard Youth Foundation. These are large files and may take a moment to download. Cadets were selected to visit the Indy 500 track during the month of May (2010). They met Dan Wheldon, the driver of the National Guard car owned by Panther Racing, and participated in a broadcast with troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Visit the photo essay.
