The Young Marines is a 501(c)3 charitable organization for youth education and service programs for boys and girls, ages 8 through 18. The Young Marines promotes the mental, moral, and physical development of its members, focusing on character building, leadership, community service, and promoting a healthy, drug-free lifestyle. Many of our members are children that will be acquiring the discipline, moral courage, and leadership skills necessary to become future leaders in our communities and our military services. These children are the future of our Country.   We need your help to make our program a success.  These children have worked hard to obtain membership in the Young Marines. They have passed physical tests, written exams, and oral exams. They strive to be an example of exemplary youth in their respective schools and communities. They perform hundreds of hours of community service each year. Your commitment to us is a commitment to the future. We ask that you consider donating to our program and we thank you in advance for your generosity and consideration.   Your contributions would be used to assist our Young Marines attending summer programs such as S.P.A.C.E.S., Leadership schools or other special programs .  Also the funds would be used for purchase of uniforms and other needed items for our youth.    Donations can be mailed to 3807 W. Charleston Avenue, Glendale, AZ  85308.  Also you could drop off donations at our regular scheduled meetings on Tuesday evenings at the West Valley Family Church 6115 N. 91st Avenue, Glendale, AZ. and visit with the Young Marines & Staff.    Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.  The support you provide for today’s youth will help develop responsible, disciplined adults of tomorrow.    If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at Desertyoungmarines@hotmail.com.
