Children & Youth Support

Since 1952, The American Legion in Allegheny County ‘has been celebrating and recognizing the excellence of high school students.’

When nearly 3,000 Iowa National Guardsmen were deployed, the state’s American Legion Family stepped up for the servicemembers and their loved ones.
Post 16 in Crisfield, Md., has taken an active role in helping three sons achieve their dreams of attending U.S. service academies.

Through a variety of internal and external programs, The American Legion Children & Youth Division strengthens families, provides services to young people, and meets the physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual needs of our nation's youth.
