PROGRAMS FOR SOLDIERS

The U.S. Army has long understood the importance of education, training and leadership development and continues to work with communities to position future generations for life-long success. Just as the U.S. Army prepares Soldiers to protect and defend, Army Ed Space provides Soldiers with the resources and information to explore a variety of opportunities through numerous Army education programs.

The Boost campaign is intended to help support and encourage the nearly 7,000 kids a day who drop out of high school. Research shows that the decision to drop out doesn't happen overnight. The campaign features stories of real teens from across the country who are struggling to make it through high school, while also encouraging teens and parents to give these kids a "boost" to help them stay in school and graduate.
