A PROGRAM OF CHILD, YOUTH & SCHOOL SERVICES, DIRECTORATE OF FMWR
ALOHA! Are you and your family planning on moving to Hawaii soon? Or, have you just arrived at your new home here on Oahu and want to learn more about what’s available on the island? The Army Hawaii Youth Sponsorship Program will provide you the necessary information and tools to help you cope with your transition to paradise. Our goal is to provide consistent and predictable services to eligible children and youth living on and off post, regardless of their geographic proximity to an Army installation.
The Hawaii Youth Sponsorship Program is comprised of three elements: Youth Sponsors, Youth Sponsorship Clubs and Student To Student.
Youth Sponsors
Helps with the relocation of youth so that they can become more familiar with their new home in Hawaii. Sponsors are matched to youth according to their gender, age, and interests. The sponsor escorts incoming youth around the post, school area, and to Child, Youth & School Services (CYSS) facilities and events. Newcomers can find a matching sponsor by filling out a Youth Sponsorship
Request Form
Youth Sponsorship Clubs
Located in School Age Centers or Teen Centers and focus on relocation support and the life transitions that military-connected children and youth often encounter, while offering programs specifically tailored to the needs and interests of children and youth in specific age groups.
Student To Student (S2S)
A school based program designed to aid youth who are changing schools due to their parent’s military mission requirements. The S2S program is school managed and student-led.
