T o attend youth activities, a Parental Consent Form and a Youth Covenant of Conduct Form are required.

Planning for 2010? Plug your youth group into the Urban Neighborhood Outreach (a ministry of Teens Opposing Poverty) in Lynchburg. It's a great way to get involved in hands-on local missions. We are looking for youth groups to conduct programs for children and home repair work days in low income neighborhoods. Saturdays, Sundays and week days during school breaks are available. You don't have to figure out how to do this on your own. Teens Opposing Poverty will be with you every step of the way. To arrange a presentation for your youth group, contact Steve Jennings at 866-955-6260 or contact@teensopposingpoverty.org.
