California Challenge Foundation

We are a non-profit foundation affiliated with Sunburst Youth Academy and California Job Challenge. The California Challenge Foundation supports both Sunburst Youth Academy and the California Job Challenge Academy. Both academies are run by the National Guard Youth Challenge program and are located on the Joint Forces Training Base in Los Alamitos, CA. Our goal is to support the Challenge program’s mission to reclaim the lives of at-risk youth with education, values, and life skills which will result in program graduates that can succeed as productive citizens. The California Challenge Foundation provides resources for outdoor education, unique experiences, job placement opportunities and funding to enrich the lives of the youth we serve.
