Urban Youth Ministry: programs for at-risk youth

URBAN YOUTH MINISTRY: A SAFE PLACE TO GROW, LEARN, DEVELOP AND EXPERIENCE THE LOVE OF CHRIST.

+ UYM Ministry’s Evening of Hope Fundraising Dinner. RSVP NOW!

Aurora, Illinois

Urban Youth Ministry offers safe and nurturing programming to hundreds of underserved children in East Aurora. Our programs focus on providing food, academic support, physical activity and above all the love of Jesus Christ to each and every child involved. It’s right here in our own backyard, and it’s all completely FREE!

Urban Youth Ministry’s purpose is to give children hope in their future through Jesus Christ! All programs are free and serve ages 5 to 17 who have limited resources to receive physical and educational opportunities outside of the school day. All programs are FREE of charge to all participants.

Above all, Urban Youth Ministry is a community-church collaboration focusing on discipleship and individual development in a safe environment. Our goal is to empower “at-risk” youth, and help them reach their full God-given potential.

Likewise, Urban Youth Ministry’s after school programs, summer camp and baseball leagues provide hands-on fitness and educational experiences, focusing on Jesus Christ; the source of their abilities.

Check out our three programs below. Sign Up Today!
