YouthHope

We bring youth HOPE! Kids and teens come to YouthHope for after school programs, enrichment opportunities, encouragement, land fun! We provide a safe place for students K-12 to be encouraged, equipped, and empowered.

YouthHope was founded in 1936 as Christian Friendliness Association. Our name has changed, but our focus remains the same: to serve youth and families in need.

We have Youth Centers located in Moline and Rock Island, Camp Summit (New Windsor, IL), and Community Outreach Programs throughout the Quad Cities.

Our mission is to bring at-risk children and teens from low-income areas into a life-changing relationship with Christ. Our vision is to transform at-risk youth to impact our community.

Hundreds of kids and teens participate in YouthHope programs each week!

YouthHope offers after-school and evening enrichment programs, literacy tutoring, leadership development, and life skills training, six days a week at our Moline and Rock Island Youth Centers.

YouthHope's Community Outreach Programs partner with parks, schools, housing complexes, churches, and other organizations to provide fun, safe, and enriching programs for kids and teens.

YouthHope's Camp Summit in New Windsor, Illinois, offers urban youth a summer camp experience and retreats during the school yer. Campers experience outdoor activities, team-building, and character developing challenges.
