Open Recreation

Open Recreation allows children to be a part of such groups as the fitness club, torch club and keystone club, and it also teaches children life skills such as cooking. Annual membership for open recreation is required $150.00 and children must be at least 9 years old to participate.

Pen Pal Program

The Maxwell Youth Center also operates a Pen Pal Program for incoming teens. If you are interested in making contact with a teen your age, please contact the Maxwell Youth Center or the Gunter Youth Center, 334-953-6292 or the Gunter Youth Center, 334-416-1427.

Youth Center Sponsorship Program

This program matches youth ages 9-18 coming to Maxwell AFB-Gunter Annex with volunteer sponsors their own age. This will enable them to become familiar with the base and the surrounding area. We also work with children departing Maxwell AFB-Gunter Annex for other bases. If you are leaving Maxwell AFB-Gunter Annex, we make every effort to contact your receiving base and get you a sponsor there. See the below link for information on becoming a sponsor and requesting sponsorship for Maxwell AFB-Gunter Annex.
