Core offering

YouthReach International is a Christian nonprofit that recruits and trains local mentors to build long-term, faith-based mentoring relationships with orphans and vulnerable youth worldwide. It delivers its mission through the 12-3-1 Mentorship Model, Short-Term Mission Teams that serve alongside local churches, and a Child Sponsorship Program connecting monthly donors with individual children.

Product overview

YouthReach International is a Christian nonprofit organization offering youth mentorship and support services primarily through its 12-3-1 Mentors Program—a discipleship-based relational model where mentors connect with 12 youth, invest deeply in 3, and walk closely with 1 for leadership development. The organization facilitates Short-Term Mission Teams (3-8 volunteers) who serve alongside local churches and mentors in camps and outreach efforts. Its Child Sponsorship Program connects monthly donors with individual children, providing mentorship, life skills education, birthday gifts, and spiritual guidance. Originally founded as World Wide Youth Camps in 1995, the organization rebranded to YouthReach International in 2009 and operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with EIN 75-2583292.
