What IS the Michigan Youth ChalleNGe Academy?
We are a voluntary, no-cost, quasi-military 22-week residential program geared toward Michigan's at-risk youth, ages 16-19, who have dropped out of school or are at risk of dropping out. We provide purpose and direction for the future of Michigan's youth through education and structure. The MYCA is located on the grounds of the VA Medical Center, 5500 Armstrong Rd., Bldg 13, Battle Creek, MI 49016

Pre-ChalleNGe & ChalleNGe Phases
Available Cadet Awards & Scholarships
Does ChalleNGe work?
Our program is for volunteer applicants only. Cadets must have a desire to complete the program to get their lives on a better path. The MYCA and it's staff will supply the youth with the necessary life coping skills, education, discipline, self-discipline, leadership/followership abilities, and structure. Only YOU can decide if you will let it work for you.
