MCAS Yuma  Child and Youth Services

CYP is open from 0600-1800 Monday through Friday, except on federal holidays. Extended Care is available by reservation only for Active Duty families. This program operates Monday through Friday from 0500-0600 and 1800-1900.

* Youth Sponsors are available for kids, age 7-17 years old. When a member desires the assignment of a youth sponsor, the relocation office makes an attempt to assign a sponsor who has children the same age as the children of the inbound member. This program assists youth in becoming acquainted with the opportunities awaiting them in the Yuma area by connecting them so they may correspond by mail or email. Contact the Relocation Office at 928-269-6499 for assignment of a Sponsor or Support Organizations.

School Age Care (SAC) 928-269-5390 Building 1050
School Age Care (SAC) is open to youth who are enrolled in kindergarten through age 12. The SAC curriculum is developed around the Boys and Girls Club of America (BGCA) clubs and interests of youth. Weekly lesson plans offer fun activities and an opportunity to participate in a power hour (a homework program) when school is in session. Before and After School Care hours are Monday through Friday from 0600 to 0800 and 1500 to 1800, and on early release days. The Yuma School District One and Crane District school calendar are followed. Camps are offered during school breaks (winter, spring and summer).

The School Liaison provides a much-needed link between the Yuma Local Education Agencies (LEAs), military families and the Marine Corps Air Station. The SL is available to help parents and school age children with transition assistance into a new school environment, addressing issues or concerns regarding K-12 education, providing information about the local schools including school performance, assisting with graduation requirements, record transfer, and educational opportunities. The School Liaison is the key Resource and Referral for military families seeking assistance with K-12 education. The School Liaison may be reached at 928-269-5373.
