How we help empower youth
The Salvation Army operates youth programs in low and moderate income neighborhoods across the Willmar area. These programs provide children with a safe place to play and learn in a supervised and constructive environment. The Salvation Army will continue to make an effort in the local communities to provide these learning opportunities.
Youth Ministry Programs
Youth girls from ages 7 to 16 can attend our Girls Club program every Monday starting at 4:30 p.m. Girls learn about God’s love and participate in activities ranging from Zoomba and swimming to cooking lessons and games. A warm meal is also served. To help us plan for the meal, please call 320-235-2033 in advance to reserve a spot. There is no cost.
Character Building Program
Our Kids Club program is held for both boys and girls Monday nights beginning at 4 p.m. and lasting until 6:30 p.m. A warm meal is served for participants. In this program, children are challenged to earn badges when they learn a new skill or complete a project.
