About YFC in the Tees Valley
Youth for Christ have been taking the Good News relevantly to young people in the Tees Valley for over seven years through schools work, church youth work, estates outreach work and local missions. During this time Tees Valley YFC has grown year-on-year to become one of largest Youth for Christ centres in Britain.
The centre engages with young people in their own school settings through RE classes, mentoring and citizenship using YFC resources such as Rock Solid, RS2 and Mettle.
On evenings, weekends and during school holidays TVYFC’s staff and volunteers encourage young people to enjoy and achieve through Sports outreach work with ‘Kick Tees Valley’, social action and evangelism mission work, and girls can benefit from in-depth girls groups and events with G:EM. Young people have further opportunities to grow in their relationship with God at events such as IXth Hour and Harvest.
TVYFC believe that Jesus was a great example of how to serve the local community, encourage others and live a life filled with purpose and love. Our staff and volunteers hope to live lives that reflect this, without forcing their own beliefs anyone.
