Sponsorship is also available for youth. Installation youth sponsorship programs help military-connected youth make a successful transition to a new community.

The youth program staff at your new installation can offer more information on installation youth sponsorship programs.

If your child would like to become a youth sponsor, contact your installation School Liaison Program or youth program/center.
