Mission & Impact Statements Mission Youth for Christ through the Campus Life program reaches out to youth of Middle Tennessee to encourage a positive lifestyle, develop leadership skills and to be committed to social involvement. We emotionally, socially, and spiritually invest in individual kids for the purpose of raising up community leaders for the future. Background Youth for Christ as a national organization began in the 1940's to teach leadership evangelism skills to men returning from World War II. Our local chapter was chartered in 1992 under the leadership of Ken Collins. Ken retired in 2014. Vickie Edwards took over as the Executive Director until March of 2016 when Dan Lorenzon stepped into the role as Executive Director, Our current part time Campus Life Directors are Sam Myers and Abbie Burns. Together with about 15 dedicated volunteers, they are working toward beginning new club sites in Rutherford and Wilson County Schools.

We are restructuring clubs from a one site 2
only to multi-site format - getting back into the schools. I believe the unique part of this is that everyone is excited about the changes - donors, staff, Board and students. We want to be excellent at what we do-making a tangible difference in the individual life of many students. Our "process" is engaging kids one-on-one. We are dedicated to taking the time it takes to be authentic, transparent, skilled at communicating, and intentional in relationships. 3
