Youthfront Pathways

Bye Bye Summer ☀️👋

From community service to a day out at the pool, our teens had a blast this summer! We’re looking forward to all the fun Fall will bring ☺️

This month, our team had the joy of gathering our community for Pathways Forward—a special time of celebration, connection, and giving!

We’re incredibly grateful for everyone who showed up, served, supported, gave generously, or simply covered us and our ministry in prayer. Your support makes this work possible. Because of you, we’re able to continue walking alongside young people and families, creating opportunities, building community, and helping pave the way toward a brighter future.

To everyone who played a part—thank you. We truly couldn’t do this without you! ❤️

And a BIG thank you to Anamae Bakes and Smoke N Seoul for blessing us with incredible food. Everything was delicious!

About 4 years ago, Ms. China came into our lives. Yesterday evening, our Teen Parent Connect team had the privilege of witnessing her walk across the stage to receive her high school diploma 🥳🎓

China, we know this has not been an easy journey for you. We are so proud of you! You have overcome statistics and worked so hard for this moment for not only you, but your daughter as well ❤️ May the Lord bless you with many more achievements and may you always keep Him first in your life.

These are the moments that make it worth it!

Everyone, please congratulate our graduate with us👏

Over half of the youth who have one run-in with the law will have another. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Arise New Hope is built to stand in the gap—walking alongside youth before a second chance becomes another statistic.

Whether a youth is on probation or has only had a single encounter with the law, they are eligible for Arise New Hope.

We’re here to walk with Kansas youth—offering guidance, mentorship, and a path forward.

So thankful that our new friends at Iglesiia Nueva Esperanza blessed our Teen Parent Connect family! Thank you for loving on our teens❤️

Would anyone be interested in providing a meal or gift card for our next Teen Parent Connect Bible study? It would be for about 15-20 people and drop off would be around 5:30 pm. Send me a message if you are interested 🙂

New year, new opportunities to serve our Teen Parent Connect Family!

What do all teens want more than anything else?? FOOD! We are looking for some friends to fill our food calendar this year for our parenting classes and Bible studies. You can provide it as a family, a small group, or even a donation for us to get pizza! Please feel free to send me a message with any questions.

Thank you so so much to Lutheran Church Of Hope for blessing our teen parent community with so many diapers and wipes!

We are thankful for the joy (and never-ending energy) of our Teen Parent Connect families! This fall has been a blast with our parenting classes and Bible studies, plus a special trip to the pumpkin patch and our annual Thanksgiving potluck. So much good food, lots of big smiles and some new adventures. Thanks for journeying with us!

Teen Parent Connect's October parenting class was all about finding calm. Many of our families balance raising young kids, jobs, and school. Youthfront's Presence Centered Counseling therapist Jamie Roach shared some tips for remaining calm when life is hectic. The parents made calming jars, a physical reminder of how to take a minute to breathe and pay attention to what is in front of us. A big shout out to Hope Point Church for providing the meal and helping with childcare!
