Youth Activities

Currently, all youth activities are suspended due to Covid-19 until Spring 2021.

The Salvation Army ensures kids are equipped with the tools they need to succeed, which starts by meeting their basic needs.

We take a holistic approach by providing programs with life-long impact such as character-building programs, summer camp opportunities, music education, after-school programs, and more. At the core of all that we do for youth, fighting for them is synonymous with sharing God's love and grace.

Finding what speaks to youth.

One way that we empower youth is through music education, working in every community to bring the power of music to thousands of children. Music is more than a tune, it's structure and healing. Youth can learn to play instruments, sing, perform on stage, and even write music at our worship and service centers, plus many locations offer special music-themed youth camps each summer.

Youth Activities:

Our youth activities are designed for school-age children ages 6 to 17 in our service area. Currently, all youth activities are suspended due to Covid-19 until Spring 2021. Please visit us often for updates. We will post them as they become available.

After-School

Our License after-school program serves children ages 6 to 13. We welcome your school-age children in a welcoming and safe Christian environment. Children are encouraged to participate in all activities, including recreational and musical. Our personnel, including volunteers, enjoy working with children and make it their utmost priority to meet every student’s needs while in our care. Please call (973) 672-0262 Ext. 17 to pre-register your children for Spring 2021.

Monday – Friday 2:20 PM – 6 PM

Music and Arts

Our focus is to encourage each child to develop competency in the arts through music and dance. We collaborate with local schools and community groups that understand the value of music and arts education. We purpose to surround the participants with a group of music and arts instructors and professionals from diverse backgrounds. In so doing, the participants will benefit from many aspects of music and arts, including praise and worship. To pre-register you, children, please call (973) 672-0262 Ext. 11

Corps Cadets

A corps cadet is a young Salvationist ages 13 to 18 who undertakes a course of study and training in his own corps/center in order to become more effective and efficient. The whole program is designed to enhance the value of his future service as a soldier, local officer, or officer of the salvation army. This program’s goals and objectives include the following:

1. To provide an atmosphere in which spiritual growth can occur through Bible study, doctrine study, prayer fellowship, tithing, service, witnessing, spiritual counsel of corps officers, and locals.

2. Provide opportunities for the development of leadership skills.

3. Provide exposure to Salvation Army history, policies, and procedures.

4. Provide training and opportunities to develop soul-winning experiences through visitation campaigns, outdoor evangelism, witnessing, and eventually discipling other corps young people.
