Stories
Who we are is best defined by some relationships we deeply value. The following are a few people who represent some of those relationships and shared what the YouthWorks experience means to them.
CHURCHES
“YouthWorks has been a tremendous asset to helping our student ministry turn a corner in the past two years. They’ve helped my students grow closer to the Lord and each other and also forced them to really think through what it means to serve in the name of the Lord. I can’t thank you all enough for providing Christ-centered life-changing mission trips for students and adults. What you do is making an impact in the communities you serve and the students serving with you.” –BRAD CURTIS, ADULT LEADER

SUMMER STAFF
“It’s the people more than the work itself that matters. Delivering meals to the homebound or playing Uno with kids is simply a doorway into their lives to let Jesus’ love pour in. That is what YouthWorks is all about!” –JEFFREY WRIGHT, 2013 SUMMER STAFF
