America Supporting Americans facilitates "adoptions" between towns, cities, or counties and individual military units throughout the country working with the Armed Forces, including the National Guard, establishing "adoptions" between communities and units interested in forming a partnership. In addition to setting up the initial adoption, America Supporting Americans provides ongoing adoption support services needed to help make the adoption a success. Another featured program in America Supporting Americans is the Youth Civic Action and Awareness Program which encourages adoptive communities to use their adoption programs to expand young people's understanding of America's role in global affairs, of the role the military plays in the American political system, and of the experience of American Servicemen and Women. The Youth Civic Action and Awareness Program enables teachers to use their community's participation in the Adopt-a-Unit Program to enrich their curriculums and to add new dimensions to the learning that goes on in their classrooms.
