About the Twin Cities

In the Twin Cities, your group will have the opportunity to work alongside a variety of organizations that are actively seeking to care for and support Twin Cities’ residents. You may spend time serving at senior citizens centers, food banks, meal centers and so much more while making a positive impact in the community. During the evenings your group will have the chance to explore Minneapolis and St. Paul, visit Minnehaha Falls and check out the famous Mall of America. YouthWorks has partnered with Minneapolis since 1996 and with St. Paul since 2009.

We teenagers + We communities

Teenagers need to encounter Jesus outside their normal context to deepen their faith and broaden their perspectives. Plus, communities need to be valued—not as mere recipients but as partners who have stories worth sharing in.

When we bring the two together, incredible things happen.
