The Youth Center is a modern 19,922 sq.ft. state-of-the-art center with three activity rooms, large game room, dance room, music room, TV lounge, computer/study room, gymnasium, kitchen, snack bar and patio.  

Before & After School Care
Drop off your children before school for a hot breakfast and transportation to and from Kerr, Sun City, Waller, Curtis and Bellaire Elementary Schools. After school snacks, activities and homework assistance are provided.

School Age Program
The School Age Program is one of the only two before & after school programs in the state that is accredited by the National Afterschool Association. The staff is highly trained and the program offers children/youth the opportunity to develop and enhance their self-help skills and master basic life skills through arts and crafts, dramatic play, high yield learning activities, homework assistance and field trips.  Children/youth ages 5 to 12 are eligible. Hourly care will be available Tuesday, February 1 after school.

Youth Sports are available for youth 5 to 18 years of age.  We offer soccer, basketball, cheerleading, t-ball, coach pitch and baseball.  Fees are $35 for Youth Center members and $45 for non-members.  Volunteer coaches are always needed.  You can register for all the above activities at the Youth Center.

Youth Basketball (& Cheerleading)
Youth basketball games will be held every Saturday at the Youth Center. The youth cheerleaders will be performing at each game. These young adults work hard practicing to perfect their skills so come out and show your support. Call the Youth Center for game times.

Classes
A variety of classes are available for your children at the BAFB Youth Center. Contracted instructors teach piano and martial arts. Classes are open to those 5 years and older.  Schedules are available at the Youth Center.

Employment for working age youth (on-base) is usually obtained through NAF(Non-Appropriated Funds) in the form of lifeguards, and through individual ambition in the form of babysitting, mowing lawns, pet care and house sitting. The American Red Cross offers classes to obtain babysitting certification through the Family Support Center.
