Volunteer

Attention Future Summer Camp Leaders
Online application for Summer 2023 will open in Dec 2022

The strength of our program relies almost entirely on volunteers throughout the year and Summer Camp is a “party with a purpose” that you will never forget

Summer Camp is awesome, AND there are many other ways to get involved with Today’s Youth Matter. Our THRIVE!-4-Kids small group mentoring has TWO eleven-week seasons, one in the Fall (Oct-Dec) and one in the Spring (Feb-May). One of our team would enjoy connecting with you by phone, zoom, or a live meetup for coffee/smoothie/Slurpee. Your best first move is to drop a quick email to Area Director Moi Ramirez with a simple, “I’d like to connect to learn more about volunteering.” Please send it to: moi@tymkids.org.

Meanwhile, if you haven’t already enjoyed videos of Spring and Summer 2022, head on over to the Summer Camper page HERE.
We are praying that YOU might be in the next video!

In lower income communities of the Bay Area, students struggle to overcome the pervasive challenges of crime, racial tension, gangs, violence, low performing schools, lack of resources, fatherlessness, addiction and family instability. But we have seen the power of the Transformational Journey to help students build up resilience, character and leadership qualities through Christ right in the midst of those circumstances.

The strength of our program relies almost entirely on volunteers throughout the year.

The majority of our volunteers attend summer camp, but there are many other ways to get involved with Today’s Youth Matter!
