Can schools and students engage in adoption activities?
Through the Youth Civic Action and Education Program (YCAP), ASA encourages teachers and school administrators to use adoption activities to enhance their curriculums. Members of adopted units might come speak to school groups about their experiences and the situation in the Middle East. School groups can take field trips the military base that’s “home” to an adopted unit. Students and unit members might work together on a social service campaign like “Toys for Tots.” Many units greatly enjoy posting letters from student groups in their unit headquarters, and studnets have often helped to raise funds to pay for adoption activities. To learn more about integrating adoption activities into school programs and the classroom, please visity our YCAP page. Schools not located in adoptive communities can participate with military units through the ASA Foster-a-Unit Program. For more information on this program, read below or visit the Foster-a-Unit Program Information page on this website.
