Youth Sponsorship

Military families experience frequent relocations. The transition to a new country, community and school can be challenging. Youth may be uncomfortable meeting new peers and may be unaware of opportunities to become involved in their new school and community.

The Youth Sponsorship Program provides access to positive peer groups and social activities to help Navy children feel connect at their new duty station. The program’s three main components are:

Outreach
Identifies incoming youth and provides them with information and social opportunities before they arrive.

Newcomer Orientation
Provides information and materials on programs and services on NSA Naples and the surrounding area.

Peer to Peer
Connects youth currently at NSA Naples with incoming youth.

How to Connect

  • Complete the Youth Sponsor Request Form (see below).
  • Ask your parent to email the completed form to the NSA Naples School Liaison. Once they know you are coming to NSA Naples, they will pair you with your youth sponsor and provide you with his/her contact information
  • Exchange e-mails, talk on the phone or chat online. Remember, your sponsor was once the new kid, too. He/she will be excited to introduce you to your new school and community.
