Through a variety of no-fee and low cost after-school programs, we provide safe ways for kids to to make friends and participate in activities they couldn't otherwise afford.
Dance, art, and music programs
We work to provide music and arts programs that many schools can no longer afford. From choirs to instrument training, poetry to painting, drama to dance, after-school lessons and activities help introduce children to the beauties of the fine arts.
Parent Involvement Coaching
We work to develop relationships with parents in effort to encourage familial support in the education process. We also offer our Pathway of Hope programs that work with parents and families to break cycles of poverty and empower families.
First Generation Hope Scholars
The Salvation Army Indiana Division addresses unmet human needs every day. Our Pathway of Hope initiative helps highly motivated families set goals that can help them break the cycle of generational poverty. Often, these goals include educational objectives. We believe that in today's economy, a college education is essential to maximizing financial independence in families. This is why we created the Hope Scholars Program. Learn more about that here
