What are Sponsor Families and does every Cadet get one?
What are Sponsor Families and does every Cadet get one?
when will we find out about who our sponsor family isThe link above provides a text book explanation of what a sponsor family is and how cadets receive one or opt out. On a more emotional level, I can say without a doubt that the sponsor family program is fantastic! My then C4C had a sponsor family and was an athlete which meant on doolie day out the team went to the coaches. However, through out the doolie year certainly through recognition the sponsor family is like a life line to many cadets. On weekend that they can sign-off campus most are picked up by the sponsors and go to their house for a home cooked meal, R&R and a more relaxed environment, not to mention easier access to laundry. Many sponsor parents also let you send packages to their home addresses which can sometimes be faster than directly to your cadet. My DD has two "sponsor" brothers, also cadets, who have watched over her as well. Now in her C3 year my DD continues to love going to her sponsor's house and goes regularly. Can't say enough positive things about the program and about the sponsor family that we were connected with.
