Coming To a Church Near You
Youth Horizons may be soon coming to a church near you.
In recent months, with our community prayerfully re-opening amid the Covid-19 pandemic, Youth Horizons staffers have been meeting with church partners in a series of engagement lunches at our downtown office. September was busy as well, with our staff taking the engagement meetings on the road to churches. Those churches included South Rock Christian Church and Eastminster Presbyterian Church. Youth Horizons has more than 50 church partners in its network.Our presentations focused on creating awareness of the needs of at-risk youth and recruiting Mentors for the boys and girls on our Waiting List. Of the 45 kids on our Waiting List, nearly 30 of those are boys. The presentation at Eastminster Presbyterian Church focused on school-based mentoring as we are in the process of partnering with Washington Elementary School to provide a “Lunch Buddy” for youth during the lunch and recess hour.

This month, Youth Horizons is looking forward to meeting with a few more churches and continuing to spread the word. We can’t do this on our own and need your help to work together to do God’s work serving youth and their families. Please let us know if we can visit your church by contacting Youth Horizons Program Assistant Jessica Long at jessica@youthhorizons.net or (316)262-8293.
