Youth Sponsorship helps a newly arrived youth by hooking them up with another youth to assist them with adjusting to their new community. The goal of the program is to have the newcomer feel as welcome as possible by matching the newcomer with another youth that shares similar interests. The Youth Sponsorship Program is designed to facilitate the timely integration of dependent youth into new surroundings when transitioning to a new military installation. Youth sponsorship provides youth, 8-18 years of age, and the opportunity to discuss and deal with issues that occur during frequent moves. It helps youth get in touch with their peers. Youth preparing to come to Michigan can contact the CYS at 586-282-9761, Monday through Friday between 6 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.

Contact the Child, Youth and School Services at 586-282-2851 to inquire about the program and acquiring a youth sponsor. A youth sponsorship form is also available online.
