Manage episode 426777602 series 3518263
For young adults struggling to find their place, The Salvation Army in Guelph, Ont., offers connection and friendship.
The Young Adults Drop-In was an initiative that started in 2022. The goal is to create a wellness hub for young adults and build bridges between the community and The Salvation Army.
Drop-in attendees meet every Tuesday at 6:30 p.m., to socialize, play board games and video games, practice sports in the gym, or simply relax. Each session begins with a home-cooked meal provided by Salvation Army volunteers.
The connections made go beyond just offering help to participants. Learning about the work of The Salvation Army motivates attendees to get involved. According to Rowena, many of them have gone on to volunteer for the Army.
