Hope For Youth’s vacation Bible school style program, “Jesus N the ‘Hood”, is a week-long (Mon – Fri) program held each night June 18-22 from 7-9 PM. The primary purpose of the program is to reach out to new youth but we also continue to grow and disciple our current youth during the week. Meeting five nights in a row facilitates relationship building and long-term impact. The nightly program consists of fun and games, dinner, a guest speaker or artist, and then small group Bible studies around a particular theme.  We expect to have almost 200 youth throughout the week, with 80-100 each night. 

Are you new to Hope For Youth? Attend the New Volunteer Information Meeting on May 22, 7 pm-8 pm (location: Faith Center, 8009 Long point, in the small Chapel building). You’ll get an overview of the ministry, hear more about the Jesus N The ‘Hood program and how you can be involved as a volunteer—both directly with the youth and behind the scenes!

Are you a current or past volunteer with Hope For Youth? All volunteers wanting to serve at Jesus N The ‘Hood must attend the JNTH Volunteer Meeting—with guest speaker Eric Williams (executive director of Stoney Creek Ranch urban camp) on May 31, 6:30-8:30 pm at the Faith Center.

With summer rapidly approaching, we are in the throes of planning our summer activities including vacation bible school, summer camps, and the start of the second session of our mentoring program!  As usual, all of these activities are impossible without the support of our faithful volunteers and donors.

Here's how you can get involved:

1.  Donate Now - We still need approximately, $9,500 to pay for camp.  Please consider helping our youth attend this life-changing program.  During the week-long program, youth are challenged to grow spiritually and be Christian leader among their peers in the home neighborhoods.  It is not only life-changing for the youth in attendance, but also for the youth back in their neighborhoods who will be impacted by our youth's Chrisitan role model and leadership.  Please act now to start changing the world one life at a time! 

2.  Volunteer Now - Vacation Bible School (aka Jesus in the 'Hood) will be held June 18-22 at City of Refuge Church.  To effectively run this program, we need over 50 volunteers to do everything from transport youth, lead small groups, and prepare/serve food.  Every year volunteers tell us this is an incredible rewarding experience for them.  Consider joining them and seeing for yourself!!  Complete an application now!!
