Grizzly Youth Academy opened its doors in August of 1998. In January of 1999, our first graduating class (73 students) completed the residential phase of the program and walked across the stage. For many graduates, this was a life-long dream come true. Since then, forty-six classes, totaling over 6,800 ca

dets, have completed this rigorous program and gone on to lead successful lives. The mission of the academy is three-fold. First, to provide a safe, structured environment that promotes academic achievement. Second, to develop leadership traits that improve self-esteem, pride, and personal confidence. Third, Grizzly Academy teaches life skills that will benefit young men and women in the adult working world (such as budgeting, personal hygiene, punctuality, teamwork, responsibility, and cooperation). Grizzly Youth Academy operates two residential classes per year. The classes begin in January and in July. https://grizzlyyouthacademy.org

Our Class 56 seniors are gaining more than just classroom knowledge—they’re building the work ethic, professionalism, and life skills needed for success beyond graduation.

Through our internship program, cadets are learning how to balance education, responsibility, and real-world work experience. These opportunities help prepare them for the workforce while developing the confidence and skills they’ll carry into their future careers.

A special thank you to all of our community partners and internship sites who open their doors to our cadets every class. Your continued support, mentorship, and investment in our young people make a lasting impact, and we truly appreciate everything you do.

The future is bright for Class 56, and they’re proving it one step at a time. 💪🎓

Class 56 | April Students of the Month 🎉

Big recognition to these cadets for putting in the work and standing out academically this month. For some, this is their first time being recognized in school—and it shows. The effort, the discipline, and the consistency are paying off.

Keep building on it. This is just the start.

Class 56 just reached Silver Phase.

More responsibility, more trust, and higher expectations across the board.

They’ve put in the work to get here — now it’s about staying consistent and finishing strong.

Keep it up.

2nd Platoon Wolverines took a step back in time on their trip to Hearst Castle 🏛️

From the architecture to the history along the Central Coast, this place is truly a one-of-a-kind treasure. Not every classroom has ocean views like this—learning hits different out here.
