Supporting Children of the Guard & Reserves Institute Offered in April

The Iowa National Guard Services Branch, in partnership with the Military Child Education Coalition, is pleased to announce registration for the Supporting Children of the Guard and Reserves Institutes on April 28-29, 2010, is now open. This two-day training is for educators, counselors, administrators and those working with (or soon to be working with) military youth and teens. Attendees will receive valuable information on strategies for working with military youth and teens, as well as resources available to support these individuals during all stages of the deployment cycle. The resources provided to attendees are quite extensive...a great way to build a professional reference library on supporting those in the military community.

The training and resources are available at no cost to the attendee; however, transportation and lodging expenses will be the responsibility of the attendee(s). Further, one graduate credit is available for this training (at the expense of the attendee) through Texas A&M, with CEUs also available.


Click here for the registration form. Please note registration is limited, so please sign-up as soon as possible to be guaranteed a slot. If there are specific questions, please do not hesitate to contact Jeremy Van Wyk, State Youth and Teen Coordinator for the Iowa National Guard, at (515) 252-4040 or by e-mail at jeremy.vanwyk@us.army.mil.
