Youthfront's Arise juvenile justice program is the leading ministry in the metro area for youth in juvenile detention centers.
Building Relationships
Our staff and more than 30 volunteers engage with youth at four detention centers on a weekly basis, much like a youth group – sharing a time of Bible study, snacks and discussion.Â
Our goal in this After Care Program is to share God’s love through community and connection. This ministry is filling a huge gap, as these youth in the juvenile justice system are largely overlooked and underserved.
"We just asked the Holy Spirit to go before us and open their hearts and to give the right words to say. We're trying to develop relationships with kids so they know that there's people out there that care for them."
