Search Volunteer Organizations: Canada, Youth Program

Quite simply, our purpose is to provide life-changing, Christ-centred youth mission opportunities. This is our reason for being. We create extraordinarily fun and significant adventures, targeted to the needs and capabilities of youth, ages 12-19.

By crossing borders of race and culture, and by placing students outside their comfort zones, we find something wonderful
happens: God gets their attention! Without the distractions of everyday life, God uses YouthWorks to work in the lives of
thousands of teenagers. By attempting to be faithful to our purpose, we find God is also at work in each of the communities we serve. Yea God!

Bringing Focus to the Lives of Teens

Presbyterians work to bring the grace of God to all people at work and at home. This transformation begins in their own lives as they grow in Christian faith. Their hands have improved the lives of abandoned children, homeless men and women, communities shattered by war or environmental disasters, and refugees searching for a second chance.

To provide positive role models to at risk children, who will benefit from the volunteers time and attention.

To inspire. To instill. To impact.

City Kidz inspires each child to believe they are created with purpose, with destiny. We will inspire them to dream big dreams, and to follow their dreams with passion, to live their lives in pursuit of God, His plans, His purposes for their lives.

City Kidz instills Christian values and morals, which lay the foundation and attitude for dreams to be built and destinies to be reached.

City Kidz influences the choices and decisions each child makes, which has a direct impact on the direction and outcome of their lives, helping each child achieve their God given potential.

At Kinder Kidz it is our goal to share God's message of love, so that the seeds of hope are planted within the very core of every child. Our Kinder Kidz program is specifically aimed towards children between the ages of 3-5. This year it is our mandate to make Kinder Kidz a fun, engaging, and powerful tool to share the message of love and hope and to inspire children to always do the right things. It is our dream that each child would grow up to be who God created them to be and fulfill their destiny.
