The Iowa National Guard Youth and Teen Program has partnered with Iowa Public Television to present ICN sessions focusing on supporting youth and teens who have family members in the military. Due to the projected deployment tempo the Iowa National Guard could face in the next year, increased support for those in the military community has never been greater. Many families and communities throughout our state have been, or will be, directly impacted by the deployment of a service member. Those working in schools play a vital role in the success and resiliency of a child who has a loved one deployed.
Below is a listing of the ICN sessions. All sessions are scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m. and not last more than an hour. These are great opportunities for those in the classroom to gain valuable information and resources for use in future planning.
