About Our Organization
YouthReach International is an international missions ministry dedicated to equipping orphans and at-risk children for success in life through spiritual development, positive role models, and practical skills.
The outlook for orphans in the former Soviet Union is grim:
60% will be jobless and homeless
40% will turn to drugs and alcohol
10% will commit suicide
Before these kids are turned away from the orphanage, to live on their own at age 16 or 17, YouthReach International connects them with their own 12-3-1 Mentor. This relationship develops into a friendship, giving hope, love, and introducing the kids to the ultimate hope, Jesus Christ, their friend for life.
