Our mission is to promote awareness of the unique educational needs of military connected children. School Liaisons:

• Develop, coordinate, and engage in school and community partnership initiatives that foster academic success.
• Increase educator and community awareness of the Marine Corps mission.
• Serve as the commander’s subject matter expert and point of contact for Pre-K-12 education related matters.
• Provide military families and students with school transitions and academic support information and resources.

What is School Liaison?

School Liaisons are professionals whose mission it is to facilitate successful Pre-K-12 schooling transitions when military connected children move with their families to new duty stations and when those children are transitioning to the next step in their education, such as transitioning into kindergarten or graduating high school and pursuing post-secondary education. School Liaisons are located on every Marine Corps installation, both CONUS and OCONUS, and work together to provide families with the schooling information and resources they need to locate quality schools for their children and ensure continuity in their education throughout the service member’s career.

School Liaisons also work with the local school systems to inform education professionals and the community of the unique needs military connected children have, the educational and social challenges they face, and support for military connected students such as the Military Interstate Compact. Most importantly, the Yuma School Liaison can serve and support any active-duty military family assigned to MCAS Yuma, regardless of their branch of service. We’re here to support you during your move here, during your time on station, and as you prepare for your next PCS move!

We provide the following support:

• Direct assistance to military families with school-aged children in grades Pre-K– 12
• Educate schools and communities about the needs of military-connected school-age children and military family life
• Build collaborative relations between command, installation and community
• Maintain direct contact and develop relationships with school/district personnel
• Provide information about school options; and educational services, programs, and resources on-and-off base.

The SAPR program provides training and education to service members, adult dependents, and eligible civilians in an effort to foster an environment where sexual assault is not tolerated, provides guidance on how to respond and report, and works with key stakeholders to hold offenders accountable.  Service members are empowered to eradicate sexual assault by providing practical tools to intervene before sexual assaults occur.  Preventing sexual assault is everyone's responsibility!

For assistance, contact the MCAS Yuma 24/7 Sexual Assault Support Line at (928) 941-3601.
