Youth Support

The Legion’s School Award Medal Program honors youth who exemplify the ideals of Americanism; Department of Maryland awarded most medals in 2011.

American Legion posts are encouraged to recognize boys and girls who demonstrate quality character and good citizenship.

The new American Legion Youth Programs Alumni Association enables current and former program participants to communicate.

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.
