Cru exists to win for Christ, build them up in their faith, and send them out to be multiplying disciples on their campuses and in the world!
Our staff, programs, and opportunities are set up to help develop students into servant leaders who impact their campuses and communities.
Our mission is fueled by the reality that to truly thrive, teenagers need a transforming relationship with God.

We work to create spaces where teenagers can be themselves and build a network of diverse friendships.
Working in connection with parents, teachers, and coaches, our staff and volunteers meet regularly with individual students to talk about life, making good choices, and their spiritual journey.
From leading on-campus club times, to planning outreaches and service projects, we give teenagers the lead in safe situations where they can try, fail, and try again.
Are you looking for a place to find friends who will grow with you, encourage you, and have fun? Check out how to get involved with Cru!
Camps, conferences, and retreats offer students the chance to experience spiritual growth in an environment crafted just for that purpose. Each year, students are invited to push beyond their comfort zone, with three unique opportunities to rise to new challenges.

On spring and summer international mission trips, students share the gospel in local high schools through classroom speaking, assembly programs, meeting with students in common areas, and outreach events.
We will be going to Puerto Rico in the Spring of 2025.
Whether you are a college student, parent, concerned adult, youth leader, church partner, or educator with a heart for teenagers, you can make a difference in the lives of students!
