Info about Salvation Army Extra Curricular Offerings

My name is Major Marie Tatterson and I’m with The Salvation Army as an officer here locally and I would like to talk with you that might be interested to the Home Schooling family.

I am wanting to introduce you about our Youth outreach program that might be benefit to them on something that could help accomplish along with their school work and or you might like to look at ir as a second curriculum activity for fun and looking for a different environment aspect for your young people. It is similar as a Girl Scout and Boy Scout where they work and earn badges and it does have Christian view on these materials. Where they won’t feel obligated for being discriminated on our view of religions.
