Red Shield Youth Centers

A safe environment where children can have fun and be themselves

The Salvation Army Red Shield Youth Centers in Hattiesburg and Shreveport are part of the Salvation Army Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi Division. These Centers provide foundational development opportunities and life skills programs designed to guide children and youth on a path of hope.

The Salvation Army Red Shield Youth Centers seek to inspire participants to embrace the values, ethics, and skills that positively influence their lives. Our goal is to engage today’s youth and their families in a warm and welcoming environment, displaying the unconditional love that God wants everyone to experience. Our centers foster an accepting, positive, and challenging dynamic where young people from all backgrounds, circumstances, races, creeds, and religions feel valued and included.

As integral parts of The Salvation Army’s mission, these programs are specifically designed to serve our communities' most vulnerable and disadvantaged members. The Salvation Army Red Shield Youth Centers play a critical role in advancing the organization's commitment to transforming lives and building brighter futures.

 

The Red Shield Youth Centers offer young people what they need and want most – adults who respect and listen to them; a safe environment where they can have fun and be themselves; and interesting, constructive activities that channel youthful energy into challenging pursuits.

Further, all Red Shield Youth Center programs are based on a youth development strategy that builds character and self-confidence, and instills a sense of belonging, competence, usefulness, and influence. Centers offer daily access to a broad range of programs in six Core Program Areas:

  • Education and Career Development
  • Character and Leadership Development
  • Health and Life Skills
  • The Arts
  • Sports, Fitness, and Recreation
  • Spiritual Development
