Youth Sponsorship

The Child & Youth Programs (CYP) Youth Sponsorship Program is designed to provide transition support to military children via introduction, program insight, club involvement, and community awareness. Inbound students are able to connect and become familiar with the base’s youth program offerings, make connections with local student Youth Sponsorship Representatives, and to gain insight into the programs they will be involved in once they arrive at the base. 

DoDEA Schools

Spanish Schools

You may decide to attend Spanish schools. You must have a rental agreement or assigned base housing before you can apply for Spanish Public Schools. Registration is in May every year. The SL hosts a workshop with the Education Delegates in Puerto and Rota every March to walk you through the process. Any time after May, school options are space available and there is an alternative registration process. Every August the Education Delegates and I host a workshop on how to register and what to expect in the Spanish School system. Appointments can be made with the SL anytime to walk you through the registration and inform you about this education option. For more information, please visit https://www.smore.com/szfpt

Partnerships in Education (PIE)

Service members are volunteering in local schools by mentoring, reading to classes, assisting with various school events like family fun nights. If your command would like to volunteer in school, contact the School Liaison. The ways to volunteer are endless.

Navy Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM)

STEM development begins with Naval STEM outreach programs at the Pre-K through 12th grade levels, continues through undergraduate and graduate school, supports student advancement into post-doctoral work, and continues through all stages of their STEM professions.

Naval STEM has opportunities for learners of all ages, at all stages. Check out these STEM competitions, fellowships, internships, scholarships and more at STEM Opportunities for Students handout.

Special Needs System Navigation

While parents remain the first and primary advocates for the rights and needs of their children with special needs, the School Liaison offers support by providing access to information about programs and services, referring families to special education professionals, and helping families navigate the administrative systems within local education agencies. By providing these services the School Liaison equips parents to make informed decisions about the intervention services and care their children with special needs will and/or should receive.
