CHANGE THE HEADLINES.

Our hearts are heavy as we have watched the tragic events occurring in our community. We mourn and pray with all who have lost loved ones. 

We are also emboldened to continue putting our prayers into action. At Youth For Christ, we come alongside young people who are experiencing pivotal moments in their life. Many are feeling hopeless or overwhelmed and it’s our passion to make them feel seen, heard, and valued.

Jesus offers hope. We want young people to know God sees them, understands, and cares deeply. Your investment with YFC directly changes the lives of young people by providing authentic mentorship in these critical moments.  In a world of chaos, your YFC leaders are stepping into the darkness and being a consistent voice of truth. We refuse to be unaffected or apathetic to this violence. Join us.

PARTNER WITH YFC.

RYFC Programs

All-Star Sports is a community collaborative sports program for youth ages 11-18. The purpose is to create an environment which fosters healthy relationships. Mentor/coaches, who are trained volunteers, encourage each player, coach basic skills and teach life principles.

P31Girlz provides girls from 6th to 8th grade a space where they can come together and learn that their purpose and identity is in Christ! Spending time and being coached by women who are seasoned in the Christian faith produces confident young women.

Parent Life reaches expectant and parenting teens and their children through intentional relationships with trained adults and community partnerships. By providing support services to teen parents we equip them with the skills necessary to move from dependence to independence.

YFC’s newest board member Officer Moses Robinson talks about the causes and cures for the epidemic of youth violence plaguing our city

Do you have a heart for young mothers? Parent Life offers opportunities to volunteer, helping moms understand the plans God has for them!

Please join us as we continue to pray for the peace of our city, knowing that our victory can only be found in God.
