As a child of a National Guard Colonel, sophomore Allison Wheeler has had the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of other military children in Kansas.
Wheeler is a third year member of the Kansas National Guard Teen Council, an organization for children with military parents dedicated to developing leadership skills, volunteering and enhancing life for military children and youth across the state.
One of sixteen students on the council, Wheeler and her fellow council members act as a voice for military youth. The council plans and organizes several events for military kids throughout the year, including a summer camp for kids ages 8-18 in July.
“I really enjoy being apart of this organization because I like being able to plan these things and then participate in them,” Wheeler said. “It’s a lot of fun.”
