Youth Services assist in meeting the needs of children of
military families in the transition from one installation to the
other. Therefore, we offer the Youth Sponsorship Program in an effort
to assist these youngsters.
Fort Detrick Youth Services has several
interested youth who are willing to correspond with others who are coming to
Fort Detrick. When these new young people arrive at Fort Detrick,
their transition to school athletics and other youth center activities may; be
made easier by the youth already here. We will also attempt to assist
youngsters who are leaving Fort Detrick by contacting appropriate personnel at
their destination. If you are interested in a youth sponsor for youth
children, contact Youth Services, 949 Sultan, Fort Detrick,
MD 21702-5000 or call (301) 619-2901.Fort Detrick Youth Service
