Partners

YouthCompass strongly believes that we can accomplish so much more if we partner with others. With a vision as ambitious as ours, there is no way we can do it on our own! Thank you for working with us.

Individuals

Every volunteer, board member and financial supporter is an integral part of our team.

“Some things that I really like about YouthCompass are as follows: CLUB – being able to relax and spending time with special people who make me feel special and loved. NORTH – having discussions about spiritual things and listening to others share their thoughts about their spiritual journeys in searching for truth. Service Projects – having opportunities to serve other people, many who are less fortunate than myself. Serving others with my friends brings a certain amount of satisfaction that nothing else can give me – it’s fun to serve!!” – Katharina, 17 yrs. old
