MOFFETT FEDERAL AIRFIELD, Calif. - The Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard has received funding for three AFR/ANG Teen Leadership Summits this year.

Guard members can support the program by registering their teens for a summit. Also, each camp needs adult leaders to chaperone the teens.

The AFR/ANG Teen Leadership Summits are open to all 14-18 year old dependent teens of current Air Force Reserve or Air National Guard members.

Applicants will be required to complete the 2010 AFR/ANG Teen Leadership Summit application for the session they wish to attend to include essay questions, Code of Conduct and transportation form.
