Getting ready to move and wondering about Fort Campbell? If you want to learn more about Fort Campbell and Child & Youth Services, the Youth Sponsorship Program can help you. We provide a sponsor for Family Members in grades kindergarten - 12th grade. Let us help make your transition a lot smoother.

Youth Sponsorship helps relocated youth to become familiar with the Fort Campbell community. Sponsors are matched to youth according to their gender, age and interest. The sponsors escort incoming youth around the post, school areas, and to the Child and Youth Service Centers. They introduce the new arrival to others within their age grade level and to the various activities. There are "Hail and Farewell" activities for the newly arrived and the soon to depart youth. These social functions assist in making new friends. To request a sponsor from Fort Campbell please click here.
