Frequently Asked Questions

  • Youth Group is FREE.

    AYM is an official 501(c)(3) and provides program for free or with significant subsidy given the generous donations of organizations and individuals.

  • The first term of Ignite will be 4 Sunday afternoons in March:

    • Sunday, 3/8, 12:30-3:30pm

    • Sunday, 3/15, 12:30-3:30pm

    • Sunday, 3/22, 12:30-3:30pm

    • Sunday, 3/29, 12:30-3:30pm

    All equipment/supplies will be provided. Parents are welcome to stay and observe.

  • Our mentors are volunteers with Area Youth Ministry—a Christian non-profit dedicated to supporting youth. We’re teachers, engineers, healthcare workers, parents, and more. And as the mentorship tracks show, we have a lot of different hobbies! But all of us love God and are passionate for helping youth grow in skills and confidence.

    We understand that every AYM program is an entrustment. Safety is our top priority. Every mentor completes a background check, and all sessions are held in groups with two adults present at all times.

  • Youth face so many challenges as they navigate life. There’s so much going on in the world today, and we have seen the increasing rates of teen anxiety, loneliness, and depression. We believe that every youth deserves meaningful relationships and guidance.
