The Young Marines are a youth education and service program
for boys and girls, ages 8 through completion of high school.
The Young Marines promotes the mental, moral, and physical
development of its members. The program focuses on character building, leadership, and promotes a healthy, drug-free
lifestyle. This program serves as the point for the U.S.
Marine Corps’ Youth Drug Demand Reduction efforts.
