Programs & Facilities / Youth Program
Our Mission is to foster a safe environment that empowers all kids to grow academically, socially, and spiritually through the love of Jesus Christ.
After School Program
A safe place for youth ages Kindergarten and older to receive tutoring, complete homework, and eat a nutritious snack. By integrating art, music, cooking, crafts, and games into their lives, youth learn while having fun.
The Summer Program
The Summer Program is an 8-week faith-based program that focuses on homeless and low-income youth. The goal is to help children and teens increase positive relationships with God, friends, and family. Children are grouped according to age and experience interactive learning activities in science and the arts in addition to mentoring, reading time, and occasional field trips.
Teen Program
Twice a month the Mission teens come together to watch movies, play games, go camping, and be authentically themselves. We also collaborate with other community based Youth Programs to build a safe network of peers.
Boy Scouts/Girl Scouts
Collaborating with the community, the Tacoma Rescue Mission hosts a site where troops meet on a weekly basis. These programs incorporate positive skills and values to help ensure the future of our youth.
