A wide range of programs are available for youth and teens, including youth sports and recreation programs, educational programs and programs that support leadership and career development. Please review the information to learn what programs and services are available at this installation.
The Teen Center is located in Area One. Inside the Teen Center, teens can enjoy the X-Box, pool tables, movie screen, air hockey and Foosball. There is also a Computer Room with Internet access. All youth must have a current physical on file and up to date immunizations prior to registration.
Our Teen Center also offers a Teen Sponsorship program that makes the transition to Italy easier. Click on our link to access the teen interest survey. After your teen completes the survey, we'll use their answers to match them up with an Aviano teen who shares similar interests and hobbies. Our Aviano teen sponsors will then reach out via email to describe their Aviano experience and answer any questions your teen may have!
Please send your survey to the Aviano Youth Program's Facebook page as an attachment in a private message.

While off base you can go sight-seeing, or you can take advantage of Italy's incredible shops and name-brand stores. The closest mall is in Portoguaro, but it is not your typical mall (it's much smaller). The best local place to go shopping is in Pordenone where there are hundreds of little shops and specialty stores. The buildings and products in Italy are different than those in the States, but it won't be long before you begin to appreciate their unique styles and products. You will love it!
One of the best things about being an American living in Italy is that you can enjoy both cultures and experience the best of both worlds. Get out and be adventuresome!
