Youth Sponsorship

The Youth Sponsorship Program at NSA Annapolis seeks to connect youth through both school based and installation based programs. Youth Sponsorship is a joint effort between the Youth Center staff, School Liaison Officer (SLO) and FFSC Relocation Manager.

Youth Sponsorship includes: Outreach, Newcomer Orientation and Peer to Peer Connections.

The School Liaison works with local school personnel to connect youth through programs such as S2S (Student to Student), Student Ambassadors Club, or Newcomers groups.

The Youth Center Director works to connect youth currently attached to the installation with incoming youth through "Welcome Aboard" packets, special events for incoming or outgoing youth and assignment of a youth sponsor.

The Relocation Manager assists both the SLO and Youth Center Director by identifying incoming youth and families, providing deployment support and workshops or events centered on the relocation process.
