Every day in Fresno and Madera counties, at community centers, high schools, middle schools, juvenile institutions, coffee shops, and local hangouts, Youth for Christ staff and volunteers meet with young people.

Fresno/Madera YFC is a rural, suburban, and urban non-profit ministry on a mission to share the saving love of Jesus with teens, especially those living in group homes. Their focus is to bring young people closer to God and closer to each other. We were pleased to be a participant sponsor at the recent Golf Classic fundraiser for YFC on May 5th. They are making a positive difference in our communities and in our youth.
