CITY LIFE IS BACK — SEPTEMBER 8!

Parents, we know young people need more than somewhere to go after school. They need people who know their name, listen to their story, encourage their gifts, show up consistently, and believe in who they can become.

That’s what we want City Life to be.

Our goal is simple: connect young people with loving, caring adults who will walk alongside them through the highs, the challenges, and the everyday moments of growing up.

And students — this is YOUR SPACE.
Open Gym & Games
Homework Help
Food & Snacks
Caring Adults & Mentors
Real Relationships
Faith • Purpose • Future
And plenty of opportunities to just hang out and have fun!

You don’t have to have everything figured out. Come as you are. Bring a friend. Find your people.

Starting Monday, September 8
Monday–Thursday
After School–5:30 PM
City Life Center
3701 S. Calhoun St.
Fort Wayne, IN 46807

BE SEEN. BE HEARD. BELONG.

Because at City Life, programming gets students through the door—but relationships are what make the difference.

At City Life, we believe the best way to serve our community is to first listen to our community.
Over the next several weeks, we will be conducting Empathy Gatherings—one-on-one conversations with youth, young adults, parents, educators, community leaders, and residents. We want to hear your stories, experiences, hopes, concerns, and ideas for helping young people thrive.

These conversations will help us better understand the needs of our community and strengthen our holistic youth development model, which focuses on:

- Spiritual & Moral Literacy
- Financial Literacy
- Civic & Moral Literacy
- Basic Health & Safety
- Educational Success

During these conversations, we'll listen, record stories (with permission), and identify common themes that can help shape future programs, partnerships, and opportunities for young people in our city.

Empathy Gathering Dates

Mondays | 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Tall Rabbit
2001 S. Calhoun

Tuesdays | 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM

Can't make one of the scheduled dates?

We would be happy to schedule an individual conversation at another time that works for you.

Whether you're a current student, former student, parent, teacher, coach, pastor, community leader, or concerned resident, your voice matters and we'd love to hear your perspective.

Isaiah 7:14: "The virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel (God with us)."

God has been with us all year long. We are so blessed to be able to share the love of Jesus to so many youth in our community.

We celebrate the birth of Jesus with over 40 students saying YES to Jesus!!!!

We are thankful for all of our partners that Jesus uses to make all of these things happen.

We were able to bless over 40 students with coats for the winter and bless two families with Christmas gifts. Thank you Jesus!!!
