About Louisville

In Louisville, your group will have a variety of service opportunities, including working with local organizations that serve children in the community, spending time with the elderly, getting hands-on with work projects, and serving the homeless. In the evenings, explore this beautiful city by playing at Waterfront Park, attending a local church service, visiting Churchill Downs, the home of the Kentucky Derby, and spending time with newfound friends. YouthWorks has partnered with this community since 2008.

Please note: All information regarding service and community engagement activities are subject to change. We are actively working to identify community engagement and service opportunities in consideration of COVID.

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.
