Our Mission

Young Life is a non-denominational outreach organization for teenagers. Young Life staff seek out these individuals in hopes of building lasting relationships with them by inviting them to fun, adventurous, and often life-changing experiences! They pray for these individuals, share the Gospel with them, walk with them in their personal journeys, and help prepare them for a life-long relationship with Christ.

One way they do this is through their weekend camps at Crooked Creek Ranch in Fraser, CO. All Young Life camps share a common purpose -- to create an environment where Young Life staff help make Christ tangible by creatively presenting the complete Gospel of God's love. Volunteering at these fun weekend camps is not only a great way to help share God's love, but to also meet new friends who all share a common goal. 

You can earn Discovery service hours by volunteering to serve in the dining hall so that over 500 campers can experience the love of Jesus Christ through your service!

Mission & Values

Bridge of Hope Vision
Greater Denver, a community where no family is homeless.

Bridge of Hope Mission
To engage Christian faith communities in ending family homelessness through neighboring relationships that demonstrate Christ’s love.

Bridge of Hope Values Statement
The Bridge of Hope network and partners embrace these values as we engage in ending homelessness for families, primarily comprised of single mothers and their children. Bridge of Hope is:

Following Jesus

• We follow Jesus as our example in embodying love and holding out hope to homeless families.
• We follow Jesus as we engage in mutual relationships with vulnerable families in a way that offers dignity, respect, and lasting impact.
• We follow Jesus, recognizing our triune God as our life source and depending on prayer to empower us to fulfill God’s purposes through Bridge of Hope.

Embracing the Church

• We embrace the Christian faith communities (churches, Bible studies, house churches, etc.) as the vital link for ending homelessness for women and children.
• We embrace groups of Neighboring Volunteers from within Christian faith communities that provide tangible supports, encouragement, and friendships that homeless and at-risk families need.
• We embrace and draw staff, board members, and Neighboring Volunteers from Christian faith communities who confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Choosing Hope

• We choose hope by respecting each woman and child participating in the program, regardless of race, ethnicity, faith, or life experience.
• We choose hope by building on each individual’s strengths and offering a solution to homelessness that emerges as all of us bring our strengths to the table.
• We choose hope by promoting transformation and positive changes which occur in the life of families facing homelessness, staff, Neighboring Volunteers, board members and other volunteers through their involvement in Bridge of Hope.

God has taught us the importance of holistic community transformation. It is necessary to invest into the entire network of people: leaders, churches, parents/guardians, children, schools, medical resources, etc. That is why Hope in Our City will focus on entire communities.

Our strategy is that through building relationships we will be able to develop individuals in the seven specific areas of language, employment, education, life-skills, citizenship, health and spiritual development. An individual bettering themselves in these areas will lead to a better community, which leads to a stronger city, which leads to a healthier nation and ultimately a world filled with hope today and for all eternity through belief in Jesus.
