Every kid known by name.
We are committed to walking with kids through all avenues of life—no matter what, without judgement. Studies show that mentoring impacts self-esteem, social interactions, school attendance, drug use, social mobility, and more. Our staff and leaders seek to be that caring adult in the lives of youth we meet.
YLHS
High School 9-12th Grade
We support local students through collaborative youth development in partnership with local schools, community organizations, and churches.
Students are also invited to participate in weekly, monthly, and yearly ministry activities and events that will introduce them to our adult leaders for long-term mentor support throughout their experience of adolescence.
WYLDLIFE
Middle School 6-8th Grade
We build authentic relationships with middle school age students through the commitment of supportive and caring adults. Together we create safe spaces for them to explore identity, autonomy, and belonging.
Students are invited, with parental permission, to attend our weekly and monthly ministry activities and events where they can build healthy peer community and connect with trusted adults as mentors.
There's More!
These are future ministries we hope to launch on the West Side in the next 3 years:
- Capernaum: We celebrate youth with cognitive and behavioral disabilities into inclusive ministry spaces and one-on-one mentoring relationships with caring adults.
- YoungLives: We support teen parents and pregnant teens through regular community gatherings, and one-on-one mentoring relationships.
