Youth Services

USAG Bavaria - Hohenfels Teen Center, located in Building 72, provides a variety of recreational and educational services for youth in grades 6 – 12.

Youth Sponsorship Program

The Army Youth Sponsor Program (AYSP) is comprised of two elements: The Child & Youth Services (CYS) Sponsorship Club and Student to Student (S2S) School Transition Support Program. Youth Sponsorship Clubs are offered at CYS Youth Programs, while S2S is delivered through schools that serve military youth. The Youth Sponsorship Club focuses on relocation support and the life transitions that military-connected teens often encounter, while offering programs specifically tailored to the needs of these youth. The S2S program is a school-based program that is designed to allow children and youth to acclimate more easily and quickly into their new school environment. It is school-managed and student-led. For more information about both programs contact the School Liaison Officer at DSN 314-522-2082 or at +49-9472-708-2082.
