Cru is here to help teenagers and their families tackle the issues of life.
We mentor students and equip them to build healthy friendships, make good choices, and grow closer to Jesus. We give them support and tools, empowering them to leave an eternal impact as they serve their schools and community.
Encouraging Community
We work to create safe spaces where teenagers can be themselves and build a network of diverse friendships.
Personal Mentoring
Working in connection with parents, teachers and coaches, our staff and volunteers meet regularly with individual students to talk about life, making good choices, and their spiritual journey.
Opportunities To Lead
From leading after-school club times, to planning outreaches and service projects, we give teenagers the lead in safe situations where they can try, fail, and try again.
Transformed students taking Jesus to every teenager, anywhere, by all means!
Since 1967, we have been reaching out to youth across the United States and around the world. We are full-time and part-time staff members, interns and volunteers who join hands with parents, educators, churches and community leaders.
Our team members also serve coaches, teachers and counselors by offering motivational talks for classrooms, clubs or teams, and assist in other ways to enhance the educational process.
Cru’s ministry extends to thousands of students led by more than 600 full-time staff, interns, affiliates and local community volunteers.
