        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.”
