GOTYOURBACK

“In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” ~ Acts 20:35

With GotYourBack, we send you 24 backpacks, you fill them with practical supplies, then donate to a local outreach organization. It’s that easy!

GotYourBack is all about inspiring individuals and ecclesias to get involved in making a difference. By engaging with at-risk teens and young adults, either directly or through a local outreach group, you have the amazing opportunity to change the trajectory of a life. Meeting basic needs through the provision of practical supplies can help to alleviate some of the day-to-day stress and anxiety associated with homelessness and insecurity, allowing teens to focus on long-term goals such as education, employment and housing. Plus, when teens know they have the support of their community, it provides a boost of hope and motivation. When interacting with front-line volunteers and organizations, they get to meet positive role models and potential mentors, which can further encourage them to pursue a better future.

Participation in GotYourBack is a great way to get involved and play a more active role in the lives of these young people. You can do that through mentoring programs or by getting involved in other community activities.
