The Pennsylvania American
Legion is seeking applicants for the annual “State Police Youth Week”
leadership program designed for young people with an interest in careers in law
enforcement or military service.
The program, which is open
to Pennsylvania youths who are 17 or younger and will have completed their
sophomore, junior or senior year of high school prior to June 12, will be held
June 12-18 at York College in York County.
Those selected as cadets
will engage in teambuilding and self-esteem exercises and learn about the
Pennsylvania State Police, Pennsylvania National Guard, traffic and criminal
laws, and other law enforcement-related topics. Cadets will march to their
classes in platoon formation and have drill competition. Recreational activities will be
scheduled as time permits.
The program is not a
recreational camp or a disciplinary camp for problem youths.
Interested youths can
obtain an application by calling 717-730-9100 or by visiting the Pennsylvania
American Legion website at www.pa-legion.com
and proceeding to the “Programs” link.
Completed applications should be taken to a local American Legion Post,
which will conduct applicant interviews and select candidates to sponsor.
Candidates must be in good
physical heath and have at least average grades in school.
Officials said 104 cadets
graduated from the 2010 program.
