Does your child have 101 questions about your next duty station? If so let a youth sponsor answer them. Youth sponsors connect with children before arrival at Fort Carson and provide them with information about their new community and answer questions from a youth perspective, while being guided by adults in the CYS youth program and the schools. Upon arrival a youth sponsor will meet your child and can arrange community and school tours. For info or to request a youth sponsor, call the School Liaison Office at 719-526-1101.
