The transition to a new community and school can be challenging. Youth may be uncomfortable meeting new peers and may be unaware of opportunities to become involved with their new school or community.

The Youth Sponsorship Program assists in easing the transition of relocated youth to their new home at Los Angeles AFB. Sponsors are matched to youth according to their gender, age, grade, and interests. The sponsors escort incoming youth from school to Youth Programs. They introduce the new arrival to others within their age and grade level as well as provide a tour of the center and activities.
