Youth Services

USAG Bavaria - Hohenfels Teen Center, located in Building 72, provides a variety of recreational and educational services for youth 13-19 years of age.  Other services include Youth Sponsorship, Youth Employment and Youth Sports.

Youth Sponsorship Program

The Army Youth Sponsor Program (AYSP) is comprised of two elements: The Child, Youth & School (CYS) Services Sponsorship Club and Student to Student (S2S) School Transition Support Program. Youth Sponsorship Clubs are offered at CYS Services - 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 from the states at 011-49-9472-708-2082.
