Youth Activities

Department Chairman - Jamie Cassavant billsgrillin@gmail.com

The VFW Auxiliary is in a unique position to help teach our youth the skills to become responsible adults through serving our country, communities and veterans. We have a new generation of veterans who need the support of family, friends and country as they serve overseas and when they come home from conflicts abroad. Today’s youth are the future of our nation.
