Knowledge is a ticket out of poverty

How we help empower youth

The Salvation Army provides programs for young people that give them a higher level of resources than they find in their homes and neighborhoods. Programs help build character and encourage them to be they best they can be.  By providing a wide array of programs for youth, The Salvation Army is striving to help children see the positive of life and help them set and achieve goals to reach their potential.
