Youth Sponsorship Program

Youth Area Sponsors provide the arriving family members with a variety of information on schools and community activities. Youth sponsors provide information and support before, during and after the move. They will also research information on your specific "points of interest" around the Washington DC area and communicate this information directly to the arriving family member by mail or e-mail. But most importantly, you'll make a new friend.
