Youth Activities - Youth Program Volunteer

The Salvation Army of Norfolk offers a safe space for fun, homework help, a snack and positive relationships after school daily. You can make an impact for youth by using your skills and experience in one of three ways.

1) As a Volunteer Transportation Assistant, an hour of your afternoon means kids get from their school to the Corps.

2) As a Volunteer Youth Partner, you'll engage youth in games, art and music experiences, or help with homework. You can help once a week or M-F if your schedule allows. 

3) As a Youth Program Supporter, wanting to make an impact but are crunched for time? you can click HERE to find a list of Wishlist items and DIY projects that directly benefit youth. To learn more, please contact Denise Olsen 402-347-8626
