How we help empower youth
We take a holistic approach by providing programs with life-long impact, such as character-building programs, summer camp opportunities, sports activities, education, after-school tutoring, mentorship, and more. At the core of all that we do for youth, fighting for them is synonymous with sharing God's love and grace.
We invite you to explore our opportunities for youth below:

The Salvation Army Is Here to Help More Kids Learn More Things
After-school programs have been proven to foster social and academic development as programs provide safe and structured environments for kids during after-school hours, oftentimes filling the space between the end of the school day and when parents return from work.
We know that every parent wants the best for their child’s future. Sometimes, in a world filled with distractions and challenges, finding the right support system can make all the difference. From homework assistance and tutoring to encouraging higher grades and boosting motivation to team-building activities and cooperative learning experiences that help develop essential social skills, our programs are designed to empower kids to unlock their potential and thrive.
