London Youth For Christ

London Youth For Christ sees the hope and potential in every young person and as a result, they are reaching teenagers... one smile at a time. 

When teenagers have a smile, it shows that they are making choices that work – choices with positive outcomes. Consequently, London YFC staff dream of putting a smile on the face of every one of the 55,000 teenagers in our community by offering them hope and purpose through a relationship with their creator. 

Through regular programs, one-on-one friendships and a variety of other practical services, YFC is committed to helping young people realize their full potential. YFC places a strong emphasis on the spiritual area of a teenager’s life because a smile here holds the key to all others. Our of their youth centre located at 254 Adelaide St. S., YFC staff provide weekly activities for junior and senior high students through a program best known as Campus Life. YFC “Streetlight” staff focus their efforts specifically on young people living on our streets, primarily in the core of the city. YFC also has an active Teen Moms program as well as seasonal events and programs like camp, mission trips, Operation SCROOGE (YFC’s annual canned food drive involving students from many of our local high schools) and more. Learn more about YFC’s many and varied programs.

One of the reasons for YFC’s success is the strong support of so many within our community. Stevens E3 is one such company. For more than 25 years, Stevens E3 has indirectly helped put smiles on the faces of young people by using their skills to help provide YFC with everything from signs to displays to their most recent contribution - the incredible graphics on our new RV / Mobile Youth Centre. 

Without a doubt, our friends at Stevens E3 have demonstrated that same conviction and in that, their commitment to helping us be the best we can be in our on-going work of reaching youth for Christ.
