The goal of Youth for Christ is to reach every young person…one at a time. Through our various ministries and programs, we seek to achieve this goal and live out our mission.
Currently, we have ministries and programs serving Sacramento, Placer, Yolo and Nevada Counties.
Campus Life
Campus Life is a relational program that meets weekly with over 250 high school students on campuses across the region. Staff lead discussions and sponsor activities that communicate character, confidence, faith and responsibility to these young men and women.
Campus Life M
Campus Life M, the middle school version of Campus Life, meets on campuses weekly with over 125 middle school students. It encourages and trains Christian students to be leaders, planning and running meetings on their own campus.
Crossover 
Crossover has grown from a small spring league to a multi-faceted program that reaches hundreds of at-risk youth each year. Through a spring "everybody plays" league, traveling AAU teams and an after-school life skills program, Crossover impacts youth through the involvement of caring, consistent, healthy adult role models. Check out the Crossover website.
Above & Beyond
Using adventure activities as "tools," Above & Beyond builds relationships with young people to model and teach them the importance of developing character, confidence, responsibility and the underlying value of faith in their lives. Above & Beyond is dedicated to making a difference in people and glorifying and honoring God through active lives. Start your adventure at the Above & Beyond website.
Point Break
Point Break creates an atmosphere of honest communication in which students and faculty work together. Participants move through a variety of high-energy games, small group discussions, encouraging teaching segments and poignant moments of personal reflection, all of which call for honest introspection. Through this process, students who have been silent in the past find opportunity to share and trust their peers. Read more about what Point Break can do for your school on their website.
City Life
City Life focuses on reaching at-risk children and teens through after-school centers and inner-city outreaches. In Citrus Heights and West Sacramento, students have a safe place to go after school where they can get help with homework, a healthy snack and participate in educational and recreational activities. In Oak Park, City Life staff hold weekly meetings for neighborhood teens and invest in their lives to show them they don't have to be influenced by negative neighborhood elements. The ultimate goal of City Life is to raise up indigenous leaders in these to communities who will effect long term change. For more information, please contact the YFC/Campus Life office through or by calling 916-857-0660.
Teen Center
Embrace. Engage. Empower. That's what we do at the Collings Teen Center in West Sacramento. Teenagers are provided with a fun and safe environment after school where computers, video games, pool tables, air hockey and other recreational activities are available free of charge. Most importantly, the caring staff at the center are healthy, adult role models who invest in their lives. Through the Second Mile Empowerment Program, teens are encouraged to participate and learn through daily attendance, community service projects and financial literacy classes in order to earn points they can redeem for outings with staff, prizes and more. There is a Campus Life Club based out of the teen center which allows middle school students the chance to participate in a weekly meeting to discuss life issues and trips such as camp in the summer.
YFCMedia
With its beginnings as the video department for Youth for Christ Ministries of Sacramento, YFCMedia now provides media services ranging from video to print design and web design. With the current and future generations leaning more towards the media for their conception of who they are and who they should be, YFCMedia exists to help YFC programs train their students that God gives them their worth, not magazines and movies.
