Youth Sponsorship Program

The School Liaison Program and Child and Youth Programs work together to provide a special program for school-age youths to assist them in becoming acquainted with the opportunities awaiting them in beautiful Quantico, Virginia.

The Youth Sponsorship Program helps youth moving to the Quantico area by matching them up with another age-appropriate youth presently living in the Quantico area. The youths correspond with one another in order to find out exactly what to expect upon their arrival at Marine Corps Base Quantico.

To obtain a Youth Sponsor, contact the Resource & Referral Office at 703-784-0674 or 703-784-4453 for assistance.
