LOCAL YOUTH FOR CHRIST
CHANGES NAME – MISSION
REMAINS THE SAME
Last fall, Rogue Valley Youth for Christ announced their departure from
YFC/USA, the national organization. The local group will continue their
operations under the new name, Youth 71Five Ministries. According to
Executive Director Bud Amundsen, the mission and programs remain the
same. The change came after a three-year transition from the National affili-
ation due to restrictions on the ages of children that could be served. The
National office restricts ages to 11-19, and locally that would impact over
400 kids a year. Programming and staff remain the same.
Amundsen looks forward to continuing to serve youth locally. “We are
excited about the future of Youth71Five. We will continue to have the ability
to address the needs of local youth.”
