YFC Military Teen Ministry holds weekly meetings of approximately 90 minutes during the school year, this outreach-focused activity seeks to celebrate life with military kids and introduce them to the Lifegiver, Jesus Christ.  Whether it’s conducting skits, playing a game, or presenting a spiritually-oriented talk, Club staff and volunteers are keen on young people and work to build relationships with teenagers in order to “win the right to be heard.” Club meeting are held bi-weekly for high school students as well as middle school students.

YFC Military ministry staff are committed to adolescents, whether they are male or female, rich or poor, able bodies or physically challenged, regardless of race or nationality.  Most of all, we love teens and respect them as people of dignity and worth.

We understand teenagers and the problems they face everyday; boredom, stress from relocation, substance abuse, alienation, fractured families, pressures to succeed, negative peer influences, and pressure to be sexually active.  We help them combat these by introducing them to an ethical, non-threatening Christian means of living.

TRIPS
Weekend Retreats are available throughout the year. A national week-long summer military teen camps is also planned nationally for 2008 in Colorado.  These experiences are accessible to every military teen.

JOIN CLUB BEYOND STAFF /  VOLUNTEERS 
We are always looking for willing, caring volunteers to work with teens, oversee certain aspects of the ministry, or perform “behind the scenes” work.  If you feel gifted in any particular area and want to serve
Staff/Volunteers work with these teens each week, providing a role model adult to turn to when tensions arise.  Unlike civilian teens, extended family members are not within proximity.

CONTRIBUTE to the financial side of YFC Military Ministries.  The salaries of the staff are completely dependent on individual gifts.  In addition there are many financial needs such as staff training, programs expenses, and scholarships to retreats.

PRAY for the teens, the staff, and the volunteers in the community.  They all need the Lord’s blessing in their service to the ministry.
