YFC’s purpose is to encourage young people (grades 7-12) to live responsibly, demonstrating respect for God, self, others and property. The teenage world of today is filled with dangers: broken homes, sexual abuse, neglect, and substance abuse. Add to this list the age-old challenges of adolescence and one could say all teens are “at risk”. YFC places caring, dedicated adults and teen friendly, relevant programming in the teenage world providing help as they navigate through these critical years.
