Since 1992, Cru has offered a unique solution to churches and ministries that want to reach out to the children and teens in their neighborhoods. Currently, our S.A.Y. Yes! Centers for Youth Development® are ministering to more than 3,000 children and teens across the country.
S.A.Y. Yes! stands for Save America's Youth — Yes! S.A.Y Yes!® Centers are a biblically-based program that takes place in an after-school setting. The goal is to give at-risk children a solid foundation from which they can build a successful future.
Through the local church, each child is ministered to spiritually, emotionally, physically, intellectually, and socially (Luke 10:27). As a church-operated program, a long-term commitment can be made to the children, and the entire family — parents, guardians, siblings, and neighbors — can be enfolded into the local body of Christ.
