Students need a place to belong. This is that place.
Metamora Center is a place where students belong. It’s a place for students to participate in weekly programs, special events & unique short-term classes. The Center is a place where students connect with compassionate adults who can help them grow academically, relationally, emotionally & spiritually.
The Center exists as a partnership between Reclaimed Resale and Youth for Christ. Several years ago, the vision was cast for a youth center in Metamora. Reclaimed Resale was established to help make this vision become a reality. In fact, the building where the Center currently resides was the original home of Reclaimed. They quickly outgrew the space and moved to their current location (407 E Mount Vernon St); however, Reclaimed maintained ownership of the building and now donates it to Youth for Christ for their weekly programs.
Youth for christ
We are rural and urban and we are always about the message of Jesus. Every day at thousands of community centers, high schools, middle schools, juvenile institutions, coffee shops, and local hangouts, YFC staff and volunteers meet with young people who need Jesus. Our focus as a movement is on multiplying fruitful and sustainable ministry sites across the nation and around the world.
campus life
Campus Life combines healthy relationships with creative programs to help young people make good choices, establish a solid foundation for life, and positively impact their schools. Like every ministry of Youth for Christ, Campus Life seeks to engage these young people wherever they are found as lifelong followers of Jesus Christ.
Programs & classes
From one-time special events to weekly discussion groups to special-interest classes…The Center offers students a way to connect with others and to explore areas of personal interest. Programs & classes will vary based upon time of year and current events in our community.
