"A 21st Century Salvation Army"
Red Kettles, Bell Ringers, Thrift Stores - just a few of the images that come to mind when someone mentions The Salvation Army. But did you know that behind the bell there is much more? Men and women pulled from the clutches of addiction; boys and girls given the opportunity to pursue their dreams; victims of human trafficking rescued and given a new lease on life . . . All this and much more. The Army believes that the breadth of service opportunities will resonate with young adults today who are looking for engagement and social impact. This workshop will explore the collaboration between the Army and the National Advisory Board to engage more young Americans in the work of the Army.
Presented by Jason Howard, NAB, Captain Rob Reardon, NHQ, Sally Harris, NAB
