Youth Sponsorship

Did you know there are support groups available for your children? Transitioning from place to place can be stressful and confusing for military children. Thankfully there is support available for your children. Anchored4Life is a peer-to-peer club to connect youth while building transition and resiliency skills. The club provides opportunities for peers to enhance social skills, learn leadership skills, build character, improve self-esteem, and integrate into their community. La Mesa Elementary and Marshall Elementary host Anchored4Life Programs. A4L https://anchored4life.com/ provides transition and resiliency resources and skills to counselors, teachers, parents, and youth. 

Walter Colton Middle School offers a Military Student Club, and a Junior Student to Student (JS2S) Club that supports transitioning students. JS2Ss’ welcome new students, give them tours of the school, have lunch with them, and help them to “fit in” as they navigate their new surroundings. In partnership with the Porter Youth Center, Seaside Middle School offers a weekly “Lunch Bunch” for military connected students.

Monterey High School offers a Student to Student (S2S) Club that supports transitioning students. S2Ss’ welcome new students, give them tours of the school, have lunch with them, offer support, and help them to “fit in” as they navigate their new surroundings.
