USAFA Prep School Sponsor Families Needed

To our Colorado Springs Community Members, 

I work at the US Air Force Academy Prep School. We are in need of sponsor families for our current class. We are comprised of approximately 230 Cadet Candidates; these are students who are prior enlisted, athletes, or those who just barely missed getting into the Academy that we wanted to give another shot. They will be working hard this year to prove they can handle the curriculum at the Academy. 

As a sponsor family you are a home away from home for your cadet candidate, a place to give them some time away from a military training environment.  It won't be much time that they will be in your home as we don't give a ton of leisure, but the time they spend will be amazing for them.  Simply a place to shower without shower shoes, help cook a meal, even do the dishes.  It's a sense of normalcy they don't get a lot of in the dorms.  You DO NOT have to be military or have base access, we love community members in our program.  I can tell you from experience it is a wonderful program. Our Cadet is a member of our family now and it's been a rewarding experience. 

Please contact me with any questions and thank you so much for your time.
