There are 100,000 11-19 year-olds across Pierce County.

This generation of young people is battling suicide, depression, anxiety, and has a deep yearning for answers to the questions, “Who am I?”, “Why am I here?” and “Who can I trust?” The good news is, we have the solution – personal, life-transforming relationships and the good news of the love and grace of Jesus Christ.

Why YFC?

Our volunteers are the hands and feet of Jesus. Our volunteers are the ones that show this generation of kids who God is. They're the ones that show our kids how God feels about and would respond to them...every time they forgive a kid who has lied to them; every time they give grace to a kid who has been disrespectful; every time they relentlessly love the kid who keeps pushing them away. Our teens are part of an unbelieving world who have not grown up knowing who Jesus is, but because of our volunteers they've seen unconditional love through an all-powerful God.
