Minneapolis/St. Paul––Vision Youth

Bringing Hope to Young People and Their Communities

World Vision battles poverty by going after its root causes. For more than 50 years, the Christian humanitarian organization has been serving children and families in struggling communities throughout the world. In the Twin Cities, World Vision is using its experience to come alongside churches and faith-based organizations already hard at work to lift their neighbors out of poverty.

Vision Youth is one joint response to poverty in the Twin Cities. The youth-focused initiative, which builds relationships and understanding between young people and their communities, was launched here last year. So far it has touched the lives of more than 250 young people.

At the core of Vision Youth are youth outreach workers, compassionate adults from the community who know the challenges and issues young people face, and who are committed to providing a caring, stable influence in their lives. Outreach workers recruit and arrange training for volunteers who are willing to help carry the burden for these high-risk youth. And most importantly, they provide partner churches with a staff member who can devote his or her energies full time to youth outreach, a luxury few inner-city churches can afford. Vision Youth helps to pay outreach worker salaries and benefits for the first five years, while providing training to partner churches on how to financially support the program and make it a sustainable, long-term agent of change.

Youth outreach workers are based in local churches that often are the only stable institutions in depressed neighborhoods. Vision Youth not only trains these outreach workers, but also offers technical assistance to pastors and congregations that helps enhance and broaden their involvement with neighborhood families in need.
