Youth Activities - Chairman Chrissy Harlan
“I believe that children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all
the beauty they possess inside. Give them a sense of pride to make it easier. Let the children’s
laughter remind us how we used to be.” This inspiring song from Whitney Houston says it all!
Youth Activities Program
This program teaches America's youth about their responsibilities as citizens. The organization not only provides several
scholarship opportunities but also sponsors groups such as Boy and Girl Scouts, 4-H Clubs, and sports teams. The Ladies
Auxiliary VFW recognizes youth for Volunteering, Supporting Our Troops, Academic Achievements, Scouting, JR ROTC,
and more. Arizona Auxiliaries are supporters of Snowball Express which offers families of military personnel who have
fallen in battle a Disney vacation during the holidays.
As Ladies Auxiliary VFW members we volunteer in classrooms and schools, coach sporting teams, host parties and events,
are leaders for Girl, Boy, and Cub Scouts, and various other youth groups. Members offer patriotic programs and
information to all sorts of youth groups.
History
The fifth program to be adopted by the Ladies Auxiliary VFW was the Youth Program. It started with the formation of the
Daughters of
the VFW in 1935. It was apparent in 1938 that hundreds of Auxiliaries were assisting in all kinds of youth activities in
addition to the
Daughters. From these beginnings, our current Youth Activities Program came into existence.
