Leadership Opportunities!

STATE TEEN PANEL (STP)

The State Teen Panel (STP) is made up of teenage children from WING families. The STP gives its members opportunities to develop leadership skills, mentor children on the State Kids Panel (SKP), and advocate for issues military teens and families face. Teens 13-17 years of age can participate in the STP.

STATE KIDS PANEL (SKP)

The State Kids Panel (SKP) is designed for 4th to 7th graders who come from military families. It is hosted by the STP and serves as a steppingstone for anyone interested in joining STP in the future. Those in the SKP learn about time management, self esteem, and speaking up for themselves in courses taught by the STP.

If your children are interested in becoming an STP or SKP member, please reach out to JD at 608-301-6358 or Audrey at 608-658-6368.
