The Seattle Chapter of the Young Marines is the local installment of a National Youth Group focused on the future leaders of our great State and Nation. We are not a USMC Recruiting establishment or a scared straight program... Think Boy or Girl Scouts, with cooler uniforms and a focus on Leadership and Self-Confidence. What the Young Marines are is an organization staffed with passionate, Nationally Registered Adults, focused on instilling the principles of Leadership, Discipline, and Teamwork in our kids with the hopes of building a foundation for success as they make their way through school and into college. The youth are presented with opportunities to earn awards through community service, performance in school and sports activities, and outdoor skills. As they begin working their way through the program, kids are also working toward promotion through the rank system, where they'll learn to lead their peers, organize events, and eventually run their unit and take part in the exciting SPACES opportunities sponsored by the national program. Young Marines is about kids first, and teaching them that as a team... Anything is Possible.
