Youth Programmes

Salvation Army youth programmes empower and equip young people with life skills and confidence so that they can tackle problems head on and achieve their full potential.

We offer a variety of youth programmes. Some are run through our Community Ministries centres where we work with troubled youth. Some of our centres also provide after school homework centres.

The Salvation Army Blue Mountain Adventure Centre offers fantastic adventure-based learning opportunities for all ages, but young people really benefit from the activities on offer.

Our church communities also run youth groups. These are safe and stimulating environments where Christian values are affirmed and positive peer support experienced.
