USO Teen/Tween Programs
Besides the normal challenges of adolescence that every American teen and tween navigates, military teens face the unique challenges of a military lifestyle, including frequent moves, making new friends in new places, and separation from parents, caregivers and family members who are training or deployed. USO Teen/Tween Programs provide social, recreational and education opportunities, tailored to the blossoming minds and imaginations of dependents aged 11-18.
