That sense of community made all the difference in my childhood. Today, I lead a national crusade making that same difference for young people all across this country. And faith groups are natural partners, impacting children in ways few other institutions can. A congregation is a cadre of caring adults, role models, and mentors. In crime-infested communities, a church or synagogue may be the only safe haven for blocks.
Faith groups have a long tradition of helping youth help themselves and the community.
