Praise & Reviews
Youth Mission Co and specifically the Charleston Youth Mission summer camp was a powerful blend of faith, service, and learning. Campers partnered with local nonprofits, gaining hands-on experience addressing real community needs. Daily devotionals and group discussions connected their work to biblical themes of justice, compassion, and discipleship. The experience deepened their faith and inspired them to live it out through action. The team in Charleston was supportive in every way. My youth were in the van on the way home talking about two things--how do we address some of the injustices in Durham, and, what week should be go back to Charleston next year?!!

What an incredible week we had at RYM this summer! The program was excellent, and the care and concern to each detail and each participant makes the week flow so smoothly. In an environment that could potentially be so frustrating, hot, and exhausting, (their) organization and attention to detail creates instead an environment of hospitality where hearts are opened and lives transformed. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

They are excellent!! Thoughtful. Focused on root issues and not fast fix. Focused on human beings and the theological foundation of mission. Youth friendly. Thinking of how to learn from, teach, engage with young people.

(YMCo) would be my first choice. We’ve done the Asheville, Raleigh, and Memphis sites. All top notch. So much more than just going and doing work; the learning and debriefing led by college staff is fantastic.

Youth Mission Co is amazing! The Raleigh site is housed at our church and they’re doing amazing work in the community. We’ve also taken our group to the Asheville site and will be using Memphis this summer!
