Arizona Project ChalleNGe is a free program that is administered and operated by the Arizona National Guard. There is no military obligation for those who participate. The program is co-educational and consists of a five-month "quasi-military" residential phase and a one-year post-residential phase. An exceptional feature of the Arizona Project ChalleNGe is the commitment of mentors. Arizona Project ChalleNGe will consider enrolling young adults who are strongly motivated to improve their lives.
