MMA Sponsor Family Application for Students<\/h1>\n

The sole purpose of the Sponsor Family Program application is to provide information so that we can best meet the needs of our students and sponsor families.<\/p>\n

The program objectives include providing first year students a safe home setting while they are away from home and welcoming them into the Castine Community. Many of the families in Castine offer a wealth of educational, workforce, travel, experience and knowledge that our students can benefit from.<\/p>\n

Those families in Castine and the local area desiring to be sponsors are vetted and provide us family information to best match sponsors and students. Please use the below form to provide information on your preferences. We will do the best we can to match you with a local sponsor family during the summer. In early fall, we will have a gathering to introduce you, your classmates and all of the sponsor families. <\/p>\n
