Commonwealth ChalleNGe Youth Academy staff, cadets and their families enjoy Class 64’s Family Day May 9, 2026, at the State Military Reservation in Virginia Beach, Virginia. In addition to spending time with their cadets, family members observed a drill and ceremony demonstration and had the opportunity to meet with CCYA cadre and administrators. CCYA is a 29-and-a-half-month program structured in a military-style environment, designed to promote academics, attention to detail, time management, and leadership, while promoting self-esteem, confidence and pride. The cadets of Class 64 are scheduled to graduate from the residential portion of the program in June 2026. (U.S. National Guard photo by A.J. Coyne)
