Parents with young children are busy trying to fast-track academic learning and other out of school activities. They have no time left for the personal and character development of their young child and try to teach this when it is too late. Parents of kids who are older are becoming very concerned about the way their children are handling decision making, values, money, relationships, sexuality,
social media and the need for respectful attitudes towards their parents. Often, your children are growing in a culture and environment that is very different. Both parents and children find it confusing. We strongly believe that it is “Better to Train the child than repair the adult!”
Laying a foundation in your child’s early years that teach respect, spiritual values and personal responsibility is the key. No parent wants their children to fail or be “repaired” when it is too late. The Bible has a wise principle, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
Our youth leaders are committed to helping establish a good foundation on which your child can build their life. This is achieved through social interaction, discussion groups about youth related topics and fun times. Your children are encouraged to reach their full potential and use their God given gifts and skills in a positive and helpful way. Family values, family togetherness and communication is a key part of the program. ICY is for all kids 13-18 from years of age. We have a great team of leaders. Some are parents, and some are young adults. All of our volunteers are required to be accredited to work with young people.
