All PNGAS activities are done with one goal in mind: Protecting the Pennsylvania National Guard and ensuring they are fully funded, manned, equipped, and trained to perform their federal and state missions; and that members and veterans have the benefits they have earned. We continue to support our mission through many initiatives.
Developed by the PNGAS Education Advisory Council, the PNGAS Guard-Friendly School standards were designed to recognize colleges, universities and trade schools which meet or exceed ten (10) baseline criteria that create a supportive learning environment to assist members of the Pennsylvania Guard pursuing post-secondary degrees.
PNGAS releases application for employers to be recognized as a”PNGAS Guard-Friendly Employer”. This designation highlights the challenges faced by members of the Guard and their families as well as the extraordinary efforts many employers make on behalf of the Guard, its members, and the Commonwealth.
Our Action Councils are designed to bring together higher education, business leaders, and veterans to ensure that our Pennsylvania Guardsmen and their families get maximum value for the benefits they have earned.
The Business Action Council is focused on delivering strong results and ready-access for members and veterans of the Guard and their families.
The EAC is amplifying the best practices that so many schools are advancing and deploying to help our members and veterans of the Guard and their families get their degrees with flexibility, understanding, and affordability. The EAC is also advancing military credentialing and professional license portability and reciprocity.
The Pennsylvania National Guard Associations (PNGAS) mobilized the PNGAS Jobs Board to help Guard members, veterans, their spouses, and families get good, Guard Friendly Jobs. The Jobs Board and all PNGAS programs are fully funded by corporate, foundation, and citizen donations – no taxpayer funds are used to support PNGAS.
G2G offers a grant of up to $500 for Pennsylvania National Guard members and their families who show a qualifying need.
To apply for the program, simply, contact your Family Assistance Center or Airmen/Family Program Managers. The approval authority for all grants rests with the State Family Program Director.
State Sponsored Life Insurance is a program that provides group term life insurance exclusively for National Guard members and their dependents.
All members are invited to submit resolutions for consideration at any time. State and national resolutions inform our legislative teams and set our priorities for legislative action. Approved resolutions become our mission on manpower, force structure, roles and missions, equipment, personnel policy, family issues, and other matters impacting our lives as Service Members.
