The Leadership Experience Growing Apprenticeships Committed to Youth (LEGACY) program is an Air Force program designed to create a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) pipeline to develop the next generation of the nation's scientific and technical workforce through summer craftsman camps and paid summer apprenticeships.
