About Face!

About Face! provides youth ages 14 to 18 with life skills training in key areas such as critical thinking and decision making, practical skills such as the development of a personal budget and the use of a checking account and basic work skills. Since 1997, more than 25,000 youth have used the program as a launching pad to greater academic, life, and career success. Nearly 90 percent of participants who successfully complete the About Face! program evidence improved academic performance. Both in-school and out-of-school sessions are offered throughout the year.

Both the Forward March and About Face programs are provided through a contract with Paxen Learning, which administers these programs on behalf of the Department of Military Affairs. For more information on these programs, call 1-800-247-2936 or visit www.paxen.com.
