Relocation Assistance and Transition Assistance are offered by Child and Youth Services through our youth sponsorship clubs which focus on relocation support and life transitions that military-connected children and youth often encounter. Children and youth will find themselves better prepared for and able to cope with any changes and stresses that they may encounter to their parents' military requirements.
We can also provide parents with access to the tools necessary to guide their children and youth through relocation and life/school transitions-allowing parents to focus on their military missions.
If you would like your child to be assigned a youth sponsor, please send an e-mail request to ftnovosel_youthsponsorship@army.mil and we'll partner your child with a sponsor from one of our age appropriate CYS programs to provide relocation support and peer to peer information.

Welcome to the Ft. Rucker Youth Center – Where Growth, Fun, and Friendship Meet!
At the Ft. Rucker Youth Center, we believe every young person deserves a safe, positive, and inspiring space to grow, explore, and thrive. Serving middle school and teen youth ages 11–18, our programs are designed to support personal development, build leadership skills, and create meaningful connections — “Making Friends, Having Fun!”
Programs That Inspire and Engage
We offer a wide range of programs and Club offerings year-round, providing engaging opportunities that keep youth active, creative, and involved:
Partnerships that Empower
We are proud to partner with 4-H and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, expanding access to proven, research-based programs that enhance academic success, healthy living, and leadership development. Through these partnerships, youth and teens gain access to national programs, scholarships, and recognition opportunities that help them reach new heights.
A Positive Place with a Purpose
Our programs are more than just fun — they are intentional, structured experiences that provide positive alternatives to at-risk behaviors during parental duty hours. We aim to equip every participant with tools for resilience, teamwork, communication, and character building.
Why Choose the Youth Center?
At the Youth Center, every day is an opportunity for young people to discover who they are, build friendships that last, and take bold steps toward their future.
Join us — where learning meets laughter, and potential turns into possibility!
