Youth Programs The UTNG Child and Youth Program operates with a focus on life skills, personal well being and leadership opportunities. The program is available
during all phases of deployment as well as the steady state. We offer
monthly activities that teach life skills and leadership, youth councils,
symposiums, youth camps and events throughout the state. We are very
involved in the YR program assisting and preparing youth for deployment and
reintegration. The youth program is the conduit for all of the national
programs such as Operation Military Kids, Our Military Kids, NACCRA and
programs like Tutor.com.

Family Readiness Support Assistants (FRSA) support the command by providing training to the FRG volunteers and ensuring the command is informed of current and updated regulations, policies, and directives that affect Family Readiness. They empower commanders in their duty to deliver the Total Army Family Programs so that Soldiers and Families are entitled, informed, educated, assisted and made ready for the unique demands of military life before, during and after deployment.

Community Covenants The Community Covenants (CC) Program is designed to bring local city and town leaders together with military leaders and programs to better serve the Service Members who live in their respective communities. As a grass roots
program, Community Covenant Team (CCT) Members meet with community leaders in order to bring an awareness of the hardships that Service Members from
all branches and in all components may be suffering due to the increased
operational tempo since 9/11. The CC mission is to have every community in
the State of Utah sign an individually tailored Community Covenant, formally
pledging their support for the Service Members and their families who live
in their communities. The CCT continues to work with each Covenant Community
to address the issues of those service members in their communities as well
as inform their leaders what other communities throughout the State are
doing to better serve their military families.

Employer Support to Guard and Reserves (ESGR) develops and promotes employer support for Guard and Reserve service by advocating relevant initiatives, recognizing outstanding support, increasing awareness of applicable laws, and resolving conflict between employers and service members.

Transition Assistance Advisor (TAA) establishes a uniform process to educate, assist in obtaining services, and provide ongoing readjustment support and ensures all deployed veterans and their families have the knowledge and ability to access the benefits they have earned.

Military Family Life Consultants provide support for relationships, crisis intervention, stress management, grief, occupational hazards, and other challenges military families face. Their goal is to help empower individuals to work through their issues, increase individual and family harmony and promote confidence in handling the stress of military life.
