YFC Family
Who are Youth for Christ?
Youth for Christ (YFC) is a national Christian charity that was founded by Billy Graham in 1946. Working with around 300,000 young people each month, we draw alongside teens from every background and culture in Britain. Our 150 fulltime staff and countless local volunteers specialise in working with unchurched youth: communicating and demonstrating the Christian faith.
In all of our youth work we use a four D approach:
Demonstrate… God’s love
Declare… relevantly the good news about Jesus
Decision… Giving young people the opportunity to accept Christ as their personal Saviour
Disciple… Serve the local Church by providing both evangelistic and discipleship resources
On this page you can discover more about the different areas of our exciting movement.
YFC Centres
There are over 70 YFC Local Centres. They tackle the real issues facing youth today, such as: family breakdown, binge drinking, bullying and self-worth. They run activities such as: drop-in youth clubs, school lessons, social-action projects, and detached youthwork on the streets.
