The Young Marines is a national youth program focused on promoting the mental, moral, and physical development of young people. With a strong emphasis on character building, leadership, and a drug-free lifestyle, the program is designed to foster responsibility, teamwork, and respect in youth ages 8 through high school. Participants engage in a wide variety of activities, including community service, physical fitness, and educational opportunities that help build confidence and discipline.

The Buffalo Ridge Young Marines, now in its sixth year, proudly serves the youth of Southwest Minnesota. Our dedicated team of Adult Volunteers is fully committed to guiding and mentoring the young people in our program. Through their consistent support and leadership, our unit continues to grow and make a positive impact in the lives of the youth we serve, helping them become strong citizens and future leaders in their communities.
