Announcing four new service sites for 2018!

Looking for the best service site match for your youth? One of our four new service sites may be just the right fit.

These unique sites introduce different regions of the U.S. and provide either large urban or small-town settings. Each community offers a rich heritage, unique strengths and needs and plenty of opportunities for your youth to connect and serve in meaningful ways.

Consider these sites—among our family of 64 total YouthWorks community sites—as you plan a life-changing mission trip for your group.
