Join the HY5 Team!

by | Jan 11, 2019 | Community Partners

The Hy5 Youth Center is an after school, drop-in style program where
students can play, create, share, lead, and study. Students are
welcome to spend time at Hy5, where adult volunteers from local church
partners will facilitate conversations, games, activities, & build
healthy relationships.

Hy5 is currently held at Love INC and meets
Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday afternoons right after school until 5:30pm.

Joining together as a group of churches and ministries sends a message to our area that our mission for youth isn’t about denominations or church names, but rather about
being the body of Christ to our neighbors. Your church can help by
providing financial support, volunteers and ministry leadership.
Please contact Fig VanderMolen: [email protected] with
questions, or volunteer and Church Partnership interest.

It’s quite incredible that all of this happens almost every day, and every week, by diligent volunteers who embody our diligence core value.

Not only is there a large variety of “things to do,” but also a deep investment by those who say yes to volunteering. Most volunteers serve weekly, some even daily, spending hundreds of hours donating the gift many of us hold most tightly – the gift of time.

In 2023 alone, 420 volunteers invested 49,120 hours – a value of $1.5 million! 

Our core mission is to love, serve and connect with dignity as we follow Jesus Christ closely, watching how he transforms lives – and we often highlight the transformation happening through our Life Skills Program.

What we often forget to highlight is that God is also transforming lives through volunteerism, giving community members purpose, friendship, creativity, and belonging. Here at Love, we believe everyone has something to offer.

If you are a volunteer, at Love Your Neighbor or elsewhere, thank you for this priceless gift!
