Here are some questions we often get….
 

Does it cost money?

Answer: Most of our youth programs are free. If there is a cost to a specific event (e.g. going to Fuse), we do collect money for that.

What are the ages for the Programs? Answer: For the most part, our events/programs are for students in Grades 7-12. 
 
What if I need a ride? Answer: If transportation to our programs is needed, please e-mail oceancrest.givinghope@salvationarmy.ca and we’ll try to figure it out together. If we go for an outing, rides are usually provided from the church.
 
Who are the volunteers? Answer: We have a number of dedicated volunteers who support the youth whether helping lead events, driving, teaching, and baking for our snacks! All of our volunteers must go through the following screening to work with our youth: – Criminal Record Check – Child Abuse Registry Check – Application to Work with Children and Youth – Code of conduct – Armatus Abuse Prevention Training – Review The Salvation Army’s Abuse Prevention Policy For drivers, they must additionally have a clean Driver’s Abstract The first step in volunteering is to connect with us
 
 
Do I have to be a Christian to attend youth programs? Answer: Not at all. We welcome anyone who wants to attend. We are a church but no one is forced to believe. If anyone has questions about God or Christianity, we would love to discuss them.
