Sya Foundation

*All Donations are tax deductable*

The Sunburst Youth ChalleNGe Program, located in Los Alamitos, is a Community High School, run by the California National Guard in partnership with the Orange County Department of Education.

The Academy is a 5 1/2 month long residential “military style” academy structured to promote an academic environment where they will earn 55 High School credits, develop leadership, job skills, and academic skills, while improving self esteem, pride, and confidence.

Tuition to the Academy is FREE to all accepted cadets, however, there are many “extras” that are not a part of the program cost. You can help by giving a small donation of $25 or more. Because of your donation current and future cadets will be provided items such as body soap, shaving supplies, materials and stamps to write home as well as the ability to apply for educational scholarships. Instantly help out a current cadet who can not afford the mandatory items needed to attend our academy and help them further their education. 100% of your donations go in direct support of the Sunburst Cadets.

Since its inception, the SYA Foundation has provided tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships and improved the quality of lives for our residential Cadets.
