Welcome to Randolph AFB and San Antonio. There are many interesting and fun adventures ahead of you in this very festive city. Movie theaters are numerous, as well as some of the most unique malls in Texas. The culture that you will take with you when you leave San Antonio will always be remembered!
Services for children/teens are a very important part of the Randolph community. Listed below are just a few of the services offered. Please contact the Youth Center for individual listings.
YOUTH CENTER:
The Youth Center offers activities such as guitar, piano, gymnastics, tumbling, karate, dance, basketball, football, soccer, swimming, baseball, softball, and more. We also have the Nintendo 64, PS2 XBox, computers, billiards, football, volleyball, board games, outdoor sport court and playground.
YOUTH SPORTS:
The Youth Center is proud of its youth sports program. Our basic attitude is that the program is for the kids. We feel that winning is important but we keep it in perspective with what we are trying to instill in the youngsters!
Randolph participates in an interlocking schedule with off-base teams (older age groups and girls) and has always maintained excellent community relations in support of the total local sports environment.
To support our programs we have five baseball fields, one softball field, 15 soccer fields, one football field, and the use of other 12th Division facilities throughout the base.
YOUTH SUPPORT:
The Youth Center is not just for the younger kids. We cater to kids of all ages. Our new branch called Youth Support is here to provide you with additional support. If you're looking for a job, community service, fun, adventure or assistance in school, please come see Youth Support.
Youth Support is provided as a compliment to school and a tool for your future. We offer programs such as the Congressional Award, Training Responsible Adolescence in Leadership (T.R.A.I.L.) Outdoor Adventure, Volunteer (community service), Youth Employment Skills (YES), and other career prep programs. As it becomes harder to get accepted to college, Youth Support is gearing up to benefit you!
Please stop by Randolph's Youth Activities Center to meet other teens in the area and for the latest information, programs and services available to you. The Youth Center is open for teens only from 7-11pm on Saturday night. The activities are planned a month in advance. If you have an idea please call the Youth Center. We can do anything as long as it's SAFE and LEGAL.
Youth Support is here to market you in a positive way! When you come to Randolph, we look forward to seeing you FIRST!
YOUTH EMPLOYMENT:
Youth employment is very hard to find in the San Antonio area due to the age limit of sixteen. Some recommendations of companies that hire many teens would be H.E.B. Grocery Store, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, etc. Also, check in the want ads of the San Antonio Express-News paper every Sunday. Many Teen Job Fairs are held at numerous times of the year at many of the bases in the San Antonio area. Check your Family Support Center calendar each month for a listing of events, dates and times.
Randolph has a great Jr. Volunteer Program with volunteer positions all over the base. Working a volunteer position can assist youth with obtaining job training and experience that can be used on job applications and resumes for future employment.
A Youth Sponsorship Program "It's Your Move, Too" is available through the Youth Activities Center.
