We work to create safe 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 after-school gatherings, to planning outreaches and service projects, we give teenagers the lead in safe situations where they can try, fail, and try again.
Since 1967, we have been reaching out to youth across the United States and around the world. We are full-time and part-time staff members, interns and volunteers who join hands with parents, educators, churches and community leaders.
Our team members also serve coaches, teachers and counselors by offering motivational talks for classrooms, clubs or teams, and assist in other ways to enhance the educational process.
Cru’s ministry extends to thousands of students led by more than 600 full-time staff, interns, affiliates and local community volunteers.
