Military-connected teens are stepping up, speaking out, building connections and making a difference. In the first episode of this two-part conversation, host Bruce Moody talks with members of the Joint Service Teen Council — teens who are emerging as leaders and advocates in their communities. The JSTC empowers military-connected teens by giving them a platform to address their concerns and collaboratively develop solutions that benefit the entire military community.
As advocates working to make life better for military-connected teens, members of the JSTC share how they are preparing to brief Pentagon leaders on the real challenges military-connected youth face, from frequent moves to staying connected with friends. They also share how teen centers and youth programs help them grow, stay grounded and support one another. Their involvement not only strengthens them personally but also gives their service member parents peace of mind.
