About Florida youth challenge academy
Florida Youth ChalleNGe Academy (FLYCA) is
A voluntary program geared toward Florida’s 16-18 year old youth. The program consist of two phases. The residential phase of the program takes place in a highly disciplined and motivational environment promoting structure and academics along with leadership, health, community service, life skills, job skills, physical fitness and citizenship. The post-residential phase takes place after graduation and is a time when the cadet uses the skills learned in the residential phase through their placement in either a job, further education, or the military. The cadet is matched with a mentor during the residential phase and this mentor helps guide the cadet during the post-residential phase.
