The Knickerbocker Greys, established in 1881, is the oldest after-school activity in the United States, dedicated to building confidence, self-discipline, and leadership skills in young cadets. Led by LTC Menegon and his team of young officers, the weekly meetings focus on instilling values such as compassion, orderliness, and character development, while providing opportunities for cadets to take on leadership roles and develop essential social and public speaking skills.
Through a series of experiences and training, the Knickerbocker Greys help cadets develop qualities such as perseverance, empathy, and enthusiasm, while fostering skills in motivating others, supervising junior cadets, and commanding a group of peers. As a 501(c)(3) charity, the organization relies on donations to support various needs, including uniforms, medals, and scholarships, ensuring that every child who wants to join the Knickerbocker Greys can do so.
