Arriving this summer? Your student doesn’t have to navigate a new school alone.
Youth Sponsorship programs connect incoming students with trained peer leaders who help them feel welcomed, informed, and confident from day one. These Youth Sponsors know the school, understand military life, and are ready to support newcomers through schedules, clubs, and campus culture.
Ask your School Liaison Officer about Youth Sponsors at your new school and how your child can get connected or even become a sponsor themselves to support others.
