Our friends from Covenant Presbyterian Church in Charlotte, NC have a message for you: there is an ABUNDANCE of food in this world! So why are so many folks left without access to affordable food? 🫛🧅

This summer at Raleigh Youth Mission, that’s what we are here to figure out. 🌟

Prepare the Way: Advent approaches! ✨ Announcing our 2024 Advent devotional theme: HOME FOR CHRISTMAS. 🏡 ❄

Writers from across the U.S. will reflect on what "place" and "home" mean for each of us during the Advent season, paying attention to what God is calling us to do right where we are. 💛📍🌎

🗓 The full devotional will go live on our website on Sunday, December 1st. A free PDF version will be available for download.

Ella Josephine Baker, a civil rights activist who worked extensively in Raleigh, imagined that God desires freedom for the oppressed. At RYM, we hope to partake in this imagination. How do we co-create the best possible world for all people? 🌎✨

The histories that shape our present world matter. At RYM, we're not afraid to talk about them.

🌟Former Intern Spotlight🌟

Meet Erin! Erin interned with Raleigh Youth Mission & YMCo from 2015-2016. Erin writes, “When I first applied to be a YMCo intern I was working on a business degree and thought I had one last summer before needing to find a ‘real corporate internship.’ By the end of that summer I had discerned a call to seminary, and a year later I was back in Raleigh interning!” We think Erin is pretty amazing.

Internship applications are open now for college-aged young adults! Join us for a summer like no other. Applications are available at youthmissionco.org/internships 🌟😁
