Salvation Army Red Shield Corps Comm

Our Afterschool Program is here to invest in our future generation. To do this, we promote a positive and caring environment, provide homework assistance, and serve snacks and hot meal daily to youth in our program.

We encourage the youth to spend 30 minutes a day doing homework or an alternate educational activity. Educational activities may include reading, newspaper activities, worksheets, answering critical thinking questions, and anything that stimulates learning. The education Director coordinates with teachers to obtain information on how to best assist students with individual weaknesses, keep up on the student’s performance, and to record improvements in quizzes, general schoolwork, and other in-school tests.

Our Phonics program is designed to help those who are struggling to read, and encourages those who want to enhance their reading skills. Each student’s progress is monitored.

Extracurricular activities are designed to heighten the aesthetic components of education. Such activities include computer laboratory, arts and crafts, sports and recreation, cultural awareness events, field trips, and life skills activities.

Participants are invited to join other Red Shield Programs, which include Basketball, Boxing, Football, Karate, Drill Team and Salvation Army Troops.
