Cru Youth Development, formerly known only as S.A.Y. (Save America’s Youth) Yes! Centers for Youth Development®, has grown over the past few years to include far more than just S.A.Y. Yes!™ training and curriculum.
Our purpose is to train and support churches to help youth develop a lifelong, dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ through in-your-life mentoring ministries.
In many inner-city neighborhoods, Christians are feeling a need to open the doors of their churches during the after-school hours, and to minister to children and teens during this time of day when many are unsupervised and vulnerable to getting into trouble. The Cru Youth Development Center is designed to minister to the wholistic needs of young people: physical, spiritual, emotional, social and intellectual. Cru offers specialized training, curriculum, and other forms of assistance.
