Academy for Troubled Kids set in Harlan

WEKU
Published July 15, 2011 at 9:14 AM EDT

The Appalachian Youth Challenge Academy will open in July 2012 in Harlan at a former elementary school. The program will take volunteers between 16 and 18 years of age. Youth Challenge targets at-risk teens and teaches them life skills and physical fitness - all in a 22-week program in a military-like atmosphere.
