NMYCA is a structured, tuition-free residential alternative high school designed to help New Mexico students ages 16–18 get back on track, earn their high school credentials or Hi-SET, and build a foundation for a successful future The New Mexico National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Academy (located in Roswell, New Mexico) is a free 17 ½ month program that starts with a demanding 22-week quasi-military residential phase in which cadets will live in Roswell. During the Residential Phase, we focus on the development of the whole person through training of the 8 Core Component, which are designed to instill healthy, life-long skills that have been time-proven to lead to success. In this phase, all cadets will live in recently renovated military barracks, work towards earning a HiSET, and are eligible to receive college credits in a vocational training program provided by Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell. Once a cadet graduates the Residential Phase, the 12-month Post-Residential Phase begins. This phase features monthly contact with the trusted adult who has been chosen as a mentor, who helps the cadet stay on track and remain focused on their life goals.
