About Alamosa

In Alamosa, you’ll experience the beauty of the mountains but also learn about the struggle of rural life in Southern Colorado. With one of the worst unemployment rates in Colorado, rural poverty is felt throughout the valley. Your group will come alongside existing organizations to meet on-going needs, including working in gardens to meet food needs, doing home repair projects, and running a kids club in a rural community in the San Luis Valley. During the evenings, you’ll learn more from a community speaker about what the community is doing to serve the under-served, you’ll visit the Great Sand Dunes National Park, have the option of visiting a local hot springs pool, and end the week of service with a cookout celebration. YouthWorks began partnering with this community in 2020.

Serving in Alamosa

We ♥ teenagers + We ♥ communities

Teenagers need to encounter Jesus outside their normal context to deepen their faith and broaden their perspectives. Plus, communities need to be valued—not as mere recipients but as partners who have stories worth sharing in.

When we bring the two together, incredible things happen.
