Basketball Mentors
The purpose of the All-Star Basketball program is to create an environment which fosters healthy relationships. Mentor/coaches, who are trained volunteers, encourage each player, coach basic skills and teach life principles through “Hoop Talk” a character based/Bible discussion encouraging personal growth and responsibility. Youth for Christ is looking for volunteers to be those mentors/coaches. Could that be you? If you're interested in learning more or volunteering, please contact Allison at YFC (allison@yfcrochester.org) by February 15th.

Celebrate and Serve with your Group
While most community groups are taking a break for the summer, the Northridge Serves partners are never on break from reaching and serving the neediest in our community. When you schedule an event with your group this summer, consider planning your backyard cookout around a time when one of our partners could use some extra volunteers.
Try trip to Mission: Share to help in the garden or soft clothing, or to Youth for Christ to help with a with facilities maintenance, or even a trip to our Irondequoit Campus to scrub out the trailers, and cap it off with a good meal together.

Collect Items Together
Do you lead a community group looking for a way to serve on your regular group night? Does your group have young kids? If so (and even if not), consider collecting items together for those in need. You can put care packages together for Supports on the Streets and Streets for Christ (email our rep. Dave for details via info@northridgeserves.com). Open Door Mission collects many items from food to linen to health supplies. You can even help stock Mission:Share's pantry or fill Youth for Christ's baby boutique. So get collecting for a greater purpose!

Tours
As your community group kicks off for another year, consider getting your group to schedule a tour with one of our partnering agencies. A tour is a great first step to helping your group serve throughout the year. And why serve? Your group's service can help our partnering agencies make more and better disciples, and help your groupies grow too. Email any of these partnering agencies to schedule a tour.

Organizing a Boutique Together
One Saturday in March, Youth for Christ had a spring cleaning day. Our community group volunteered to help organize toys and donations in the Baby & Women’s Boutique rooms. We found out about the opportunity through the Northridge Serves blog. Our contact at Youth for Christ was very friendly and great to work with. We spent a few hours sorting, arranging, and de-cluttering donations for the rooms. Our community group enjoyed the chance to work together on a project and help Youth for Christ provide a welcoming environment where young moms can come and find clothes or toys they might need.

Thursdays After School

During this time they will need:
- Donated snacks or dinner foods
- Childcare help
- Boutique workers
- Transportation home for the young women
If you are not free on Thursdays but would still like to help out at Successful Pathways this fall, consider helping with their biggest need: boutique workers for each week to freshen up the shop. Also consider introducing your community group to YFC by booking a tour.

YFC Is Excited To Share With You...
Project TIES. Hosted by Roberts Wesleyan
Phi Alpha students and Successful Pathways of YFC, the collaboration provides a
business venture opportunity for young women to design, create, and sell
fashion accessories. Using donated men’s neck ties, the young women will
transform them into beautiful accessories. In the process, creating educational
opportunities for young impoverished women of the Rochester area. The end goal
of Project TIES is to become a micro-enterprise, an innovative
solution to help young women gain greater access to education as well as learn
valuable job life skills.
We at Successful Pathways make it a priority to change our
services depending on the desires of the participants and the funding
possibilities. Knowing this, Project TIES will look different at various times
throughout the year and will have diverse needs as it changes.
Currently, we are in the beginning processes of brainstorming
programming, recruiting volunteers, and collecting men’s neck ties. We have the
possibility of a great way to begin the project this summer (July 7-August 15) with 20 students
but are also looking to plan for the upcoming fall, specifically for in school
teenage mothers. If this sounds like a project you would like to be a part of,
please contact Kerri (Kerri.Phillips@yfcrochester.org)
to help out!
