Knowledge is a ticket out of poverty.
The Salvation Army operates hundreds of after-school programs in neighborhoods across the country.
By the end of the 4th grade, African-American, Latino and
low-income students are already two years behind grade level.
By the time they reach the 12th grade, the same kids are four years behind.
The Salvation Army has more than 400 after school programs in the United States.
The Salvation Army gives children throughout the Greater Chicagoland area a safe haven to complete homework, play sports, learn music, gain new skills and nurture their talents. The programs also provide mentorship. Many youth who participate in these programs may not otherwise have access to such opportunities.
Give a kid a better chance. You can help.
