About YouthWorks

Our Vision

A world where Christ-followers are known for hospitality, service, and justice.

Our Mission

We create experiences that empower this generation love their neighbors.

Our Values

Relationships First

The antibody to othering.

We back people across denominational lines, distinctive cultures, polarized religious landscapes, and divergent age groups to unify communities who find it hard to see & hear each other.

Respectful Service

No religious tourism or “voluntourism.”

We go in to communities by invitation only and stay invested with individuals, churches, schools, and service organizations permanently planted in these communities for the long run (for decades!).

Real World Experience

Service based learning.

We open doors for people with formative growth opportunities that equip them for a fruitful future; relationally, spiritually, and practically.

Resource Ready

Simplicity with substance.

We take away the complexity and make things easy for people with well-organized and well-planned, themed experiences.
