Youth ChalleNGe Post Residential Phase

24 Months of Support

The Post Residential Phase or PRAP is the 24 months directly following a Cadets Graduation from the New Mexico National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Academy Residential Phase. During PRAP, Cadets return to their homes and keep in monthly contact with their assigned NMYCA Case Manager. The NMYCA Case Manager tracks the Cadets progress from Day 1 of the Residential Phase and all throughout the 24 Month Post Residential Phase. Cadets and their Case Manager keep in contact through MentorPro.

The support Case Managers provide reinforces life and job skills cadets learned during the Residential Phase and acts as a catalyst to personal growth and achievement. Case Managers help guide and counsel the cadet as they begin the transition into adulthood
