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.
Family/Youth Events
Once a month families come together to celebrate and participate in healthy, unity building activities. There
are many annual events, field trips, and activities that are included in the Youth program.

Volunteer Testimony
I look forward to coming to Tyler Square. The kids have become a part of my life. A good part of my life. When I came in and helped with tutoring, I was looking for something missing in my life. I had been praying and searching. The Youth Program is an answer to my prayers. I have re-discovered an area that I believe I can make a difference. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me this opportunity to serve.
