YW was founded in 1994 as a youth missions organization with a goal to become a broader resource for the Church—to “Help the Church Be the Church.” In 2008, YW expanded its ministry vision to include planning and facilitating ministry experiences for children, youth and families. Today, YW is a family of ministries—YouthWorks Missions, SportsLife Camps, GreaterWorks, YouthWorks Foundation and Recharge. With the impending addition of Youth Specialties, YW is poised to serve children, youth, college students, multi-generational families of all ages and youth workers. Headquartered in Minneapolis, MN—with regional offices in Chicago, Philadelphia, Birmingham, AL, and an affiliate in Vancouver, BC—YW operates in more than 80 cities and has served more than 400,000 participants and 10,000 churches since its inception.
