Note to parents:

Youth sponsorship plays a very important role in the moving process. Many questions and concerns are expressed when families move. For youth, the fear of the unknown is a scary and very real concern. Here are some examples:

  • Who will be my friends?

  • What will my new school be like?

  • What actives/sports are available?

  •  Will I fit in?

  • What are the other kids wearing?

A youth sponsor will help provide the answer to these questions and many more. Their job is to help eliminate the unknowns. the most important part of being a youth sponsor is to be a friend and make the new student feel welcome to Ft. Huachuca.
