Mission Statement
To provide Help and Hope without Judgement. We seek to create a haven where every person is loved, accepted, and valued.

Description
Youth Haven Ministries is a grassroots 501(c)(3) nonprofit that’s been serving youth and families since 2017-first in Florida, then South Carolina, and now in West Virginia. We exist to create safe, welcoming spaces for teens who feel overlooked, anxious, or alone. We do this in the name of Jesus, following His example of unconditional love letting our actions speak louder than words. There’s no pressure and no judgment.
You don’t have to be religious. Our programs are open to everyone-no matter your background, beliefs, identity, or lifestyle. No pressure. No strings attached.
From free game nights and "Real Talk" hangouts to concerts and community picnics, we build spaces where teens feel at home. In 2019, our Florida teen center grew from 2 to over 60 teens, simply because they knew they were cared for. In South Carolina, we serve youth and families in crisis with dignity and compassion. And now, we’re bringing that same heart to West Virginia.
