Our youth programs are designed to inspire and educate the next generation of leaders. Through hands-on experiences, we instill values of teamwork, discipline, and respect among our young participants.

• We help to support our local Sea Cadets and try to involve them in our mission whenever possible. Pictured above, Sea Cadets from Corpus Christi help with Color Guard duties at our annual (Navy League) Lone Star Regional meeting, co-hosted by the Kingsville Navy League.

• We sponsor & present the Navy League's Theodore Roosevelt Youth Medal to outstanding Cadets participating in Junior ROTC Programs. We have adopted the Donna ISD Marine Corps JROTC program and support their mission annually.

• We help sponsor TW-2 Pilot-for-a-Day events to give local children (usually with illnesses) to enjoy learning about being in the Navy and Marine Corps aviation community.

We routinely engage in public education events, either military events or events in our local community, to communicate the need for our nation to have strong Sea Services and/or to specifically discuss the mission of the Kingsville Navy League.

The Kingsville Navy League tries very hard to help support our military families, both financially and with needed material items.
