Youth Sponsorship
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 a very real concern. Here are some examples:
-
Who will be my friends?
-
What will my new school be like?
-
What activities/sports are available?
-
Will I fit in?
-
What are the other kids wearing?
A Youth Sponsor will help answer these questions and many more. Their job is to help eliminate the unknowns and build a friendship prior to the newcomer's arrival to the area. The most important part of being a Youth Sponsor is to be a friend and make the newcomer feel welcomed at Fort Lee, Virginia. A Youth Sponsor will be able to introduce the newcomer at school, to friends and at the Youth Center.
