Youth Sponsorship
Youth Sponsorship helps relocated youth to become familiar with the Caserma Ederle community. Sponsors are matched to youth according to their gender, age, and interests. The sponsors escort incoming youth around the post, school area, and to the Child, Youth & School Services Centers. They introduce the new arrival to others within their age/grade level and to the various activities. There are "Hail and Farewell" activities for the newly arrived and the soon to depart youth. These social functions assist in making new friends and saying good-bye to old ones.
