Mission Statement
The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club is expanding its mentoring program with an emphasis on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) curriculum. Mentoring weaves together academic excellence, enrichment, recreation, and character development to help each child realize his or her full potential to achieve a great future. By promising a brighter future for the youth of our community, we’re healing lives and developing leaders for life. We help create a path to successful careers, which will lead to strong citizens who raise families without barriers, live hope-filled lives, and give back to their community.
