Knowledge is a ticket out of poverty.
The Salvation Army operates hundreds of after school programs in low and moderate income neighborhoods across the country.
By the end of 4th grade, 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.
Our first priority is to meet basic human needs, but we recognize the importance of programs that go beyond the basics of food, shelter, clothing and safety. In addition to meeting basic needs, The Salvation Army strives to provide programs that will help children thrive during crucial developmental years - from after school programs and summer camps, to childcare and toys at Christmas.
The Salvation Army Tempe
