Young Marines strive to make positive choices for social and emotional health. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that "mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices." There are several obstacles and barriers that youth face today. The Young Marines ensures that young people have access to adequate positive opportunities, such as, youth leadership, skill building, healthy peer relationships, outdoor activities, physical fitness, and sustained connections between youth and adults.
