Y-MOT OUTREACH MINISTRIES, INC.

The staff of Y-MOT is dedicated to using our gifts, talents, and resources to better our community.

During the school year, we volunteer at the schools in our community in the cafeteria and also in the classrooms.  This is our way of reaching out to the youth, building relationships, and providing a positive mentor in their lives.

We also take the youth to gymnasiums around the city to provide them with an outlet to experience physical activity and exercise.

We also invite the youth to neighborhood churches, where we present the Gospel to them in creative and innovative ways that they can relate to and allow them an opportunity to respond to the Gospel.  Youth are encouraged to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. 

Our programs are operated through four main programs, which are listed below:

   Thanks to all of our supporters who bless our youth to experience Summer Camp each year!
