What We Do

Bring hope to the hopeless!

It isn't easy being a teenager these days:

• Suicide is the number one cause of death among teenagers ages 15-19.
• The average teenager takes their first drink at age 13.
• The average age at which a teen becomes sexually active is 15 for girls and 14 for boys.
• Most people who don’t make a decision to follow Jesus in their teenage years, never do!

YFC reaches out to students through the following ways...

Youth for Christ’s Campus Life Ministries staff and adult volunteers provide a positive influence on school campuses and in communities around the Grand Forks area.

Weekly meetings typically include games, events and lively discussions. They are a safe and friendly place to learn life skills, think through important issues and to develop quality relationships with peers and caring adults.

Campus life has found that shared experiences between a student and supportive, caring adults helps students wrestle with issues they face and pursue a balanced life mentally, physically, socially and spiritually.

YFC reaches them in jails & city neighborhoods...

Youth for Christ’s Juvenile Justice Ministries staff and over one hundred adult volunteers provide Chaplaincy programs, one-on-one appointments, Bible Studies, Church Services and Mentoring to the over 3700 incarcerated and newly released youth every year.
