Built on the belief that the hope of children and youth living high-risk communities can be restored and their potential be released in Jesus' name through focused partnerships with local church and community organizations, YouthPartnersNET [YPN] launched its nationwide ministries July 1, 2003. With over 30 years of life-changing ministry as Compassion International's USA Ministry, YPN continues to partner with hundreds of local and regional organizations strategically targeting the development of three key areas: Networking, Education and Training.

Education & Recreation Strategies
YPN’s education and recreation strategies put at top priority the matching of sponsorship funds with weekly programs for children and youth in local churches.
Programs include after-school activities, tutoring, mentoring, summer day sports camps, skill building, recreation, and community building activities. With YPN’s matching fund program, one child will receive a week of programs for each donor’s gift of $25 (it is understood that the actual costs may be significantly more than this to provide the week of ministry).
Targeted at-risk communities targeted include New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Miami, Denver, Nashville, Orlando, Atlanta, San Francisco, and more. From the chosen ministry sites, YPN will seek co-participation via matching funds secured from local resources, enrolling 60 children and youth per week, sending key staff to YouthPartnersNET training, and attending networking city meetings.
