About Brooklyn

In Brooklyn, your group will minister by serving at elderly centers, soup kitchens and more. You’ll serve at food pantries and bust a move on the dance floor at senior centers. You’ll discover the beautiful communities that exist within each city block and why Brooklynites are so proud of their borough. In the evenings, you could ride the subway to the Brooklyn Bridge and take in the skyline of Manhattan, or visit Coney Island and see the Cyclone, enjoy a hot dog or just watch the Atlantic Ocean. YouthWorks has partnered with this community since 2003.

Serving in Brooklyn

  • Partner with local organizations to meet ongoing needs in the community.
  • During the week, students may serve at one or more of the service options.
  • Because of limited parking and New York City traffic, expect to park on the street. Although 12-passenger vans are allowed at this site, 7-passenger minivans will make driving and parking easier. Any 15 passenger vans brought to Brooklyn will not be allowed to park at the housing site. Groups will be required to find their own street parking or at a parking garage. Street parking near or around the housing site is free, all other street parking in Brooklyn will incur fees $1.25 and up per vehicle, per hour.
  • Please bring additional money for subway fares if you plan on venturing out into the city for evening activities (optional).
  • Customize the experience to the needs of your group.

How It Works:

Organizations We’ve Partnered With

Participant Testimonies

“It took a lot of stress off of mission trips, I’ve done DIY mission trips before and they always end up complicated. YWx made everything simple and easy, and told us where to be and when. But (YWx) still gave us the freedom to have our own evening activities. “
“YouthWorks set up all the service, which for somebody like me who had multiple hats, was really important because I didn’t have a bunch of time to put into planning the trip logistics.”
“Easy to use and meaningful. Customizable – we were able to choose our own evening activities”
“I learned that God can work through me and I can step out of my comfort zone and serve full-heartedly”
“Watching the students from our school serve the community was an awesome experience. This was my daughter’s first experience and I pray she understands that there are a lot of people that need help. If we are given the opportunity to serve and spread the gospel we should use that opportunity given”
