What is Youth Challenge ?

Youth Challenge serves the community in its fight against drug addiction, crime, juvenile delinquency, and the deterioration of the family. Youth Challenge is a faith-based 15 to 24 month residential substance abuse program committed to the restoration of lives and families that have been devastated by drug addiction.  With love and concern, they are succeeding in their mission to turn many former “rejects” of society into productive citizens who make a solid contribution to their homes, churches, and communities.  They provide classroom training, continued education with GED preparation, group and individual counseling, work therapy and vocational training to their resident population.  They also meet all of the physical needs of their residents as they house, feed and give them a safe haven for more than a year to allow them to make the necessary changes needed to live a productive life.  Over the years, Youth Challenge has seen countless lives and families restored.  The application of principles learned and changes in personal character not only reduce recidivism but also strengthen the social health of individuals, families, and other interpersonal relationships.

 

Mission Statement

 

Youth Challenge Inc. is committed to the restoration, rebuilding, and establishing of sound minds, bodies and spirits in the resident population of the program, both men and women.

  • RESTORATION of lives that have been devastated by drugs, alcohol and high-risk lifestyles that accompany this type of behavior is our primary goal.
  • REBUILDING lives by teaching application of Christian principles and high moral standards, as well as responsibility towards family, society, and a legitimate vocation is our emphasis.
  • ESTABLISHING a solid biblical-based foundation of character development and sound teaching through the Word of God in order to successfully re-enter society is our aim.

With love and concern we are succeeding in our mission to turn many former rejects of society into productive citizens who make a solid contribution to their homes, churches, and communities. Through outreach we are helping thousands to avoid the pitfalls that destroy their lives.  Our mission is to restore and rebuild the individual lives and families that substance abuse has destroyed.  (Adopted:  July, 1978)
