Youth learn survival skills for a tough world and develop trusting relationships to carry them through, discover and develop their God-given gifts and talents, find their voice in the faith, and hear and commit to God's call to claim their own mission and ministry. YEF supports everything from planning the events and providing scholarships to helping kids get there, to offering the hands-on service opportunities that are a part of nearly all our churchwide youth events.
