Free Teacher and Coach Support Resources From the Minnesota Army National Guard
The Minnesota Army National Guard has several programs that we offer to colleges and high schools in Minnesota. They are being offered for use at your school at no cost and with no obligation from any of the students or faculty. Programs include:
Classroom Presentations: Discussions can include Leadership, Military History, Life after High School, Army National Guard Features and Benefits, Anti-Drug, Career Exploration, Financial Planning, and subjects related to STEM Careers.
Sports Conditioning Camps: Tailored to any sport, these programs focus on physical conditioning, team building, and leadership.
Interactive Display Assets: A great way to enhance your Senior Day activities, assets include a rock climbing wall, inflatable obstacle course, electronic punching bag arcade machine, and more.
These programs will be staffed by professionally trained Army National Guard personnel. Based on the program and your request, our personnel can support the programs in their traditional Army camouflage uniform, physical fitness uniform, or appropriate business casual attire.
We also host Educator lift events at various National Guard facilities throughout the year. The purpose of these visits is to familiarize educators with the role and missions of the Citizen-Soldier by flying them to Camp Ripley for a hands-on experience led by our professionals. The overall experience is valuable for superintendents, principals, teachers, and guidance counselors to understand the opportunities available to their students by serving in the Minnesota Army National Guard.
If you would like to receive more information on any of our programs, please contact your local Minnesota Army National Guard area recruiter or fill out the form below.
