MCAS Yuma  Child and Youth Services

CYP is open from 0630-1730 Monday through Friday, except on federal holidays.

Youth Sponsors are available for kids, age 7-12 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.

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/programs and interests of youth. Before and After School Care hours are Monday through Friday from 0630 to 0830 and 1330 to 1730, and on early release days. The Yuma School District One school calendar is followed. Camps are offered during school breaks (winter, spring, and summer).

The School Liaison Program 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 assistance transitioning into a new school environment, addressing issues or concerns regarding PreK-12 education, providing information about the local schools including school performance, assisting with graduation requirements, records transfer, educational opportunities, and youth sponsorship. The School Liaison is the key Resource and Referral for military families seeking assistance with PreK-12 education. The School Liaison may be reached at 928-269-5373.
