School Programs
Youth Guidance
Contacts with institutional, juvenile justice, or social service agencies connect trained adults with young people to help them make good choices and establish a solid foundation. An at-risk young person has experienced significant damage and is likely to damage the lives of others. A "significantly damaged life" is defined as the presence of negative influences (or the absence of positive influences) that increase the likelihood of destructive life choices.

Good Citizenship,Good Character is about all of us
The HERO Project is a partnership of
Stratford youth pastors and youth workers working together to see the
best for youth, as well as the best in youth. By working with public
elementary schools in Stratford and area, the HERO Project puts
together, and performs multimedia, interactive assemblies based on
character attributes that the Avon Maitland school board is seeking to
instill in youth.
School Sports
Youth Unlimited staff run sports programs such as weekend touch football, ball hockey or basketball leagues and tournaments, sometimes in conjunction with local schools, to provide a forum for establishing relationships with youth. Through these connections, youth are encouraged to attend other campus life programs and small groups.
School Events
Campus Life seeks to serve schools through sponsorship and partnership
in assemblies and school trips. Spring break trips as we include all as speakers,
comedians and/or multi-media presentations that address pertinent teen
issues. These events further strengthen ties to staff and
administration and raise the profile of YFC/Youth Unlimited in the
schools. The overriding motivation is increased participation by youth
in Campus Life clubs and small groups in hopes that some will enter
into a saving relationship with Christ.
