Did you know that as a business sponsor for Youth for Christ you help provide adult mentors for young people in our communities?

YFC adult ministry leaders journey with students in their everyday life as they navigate many challenges, discoveries and life and faith decisions. We all need mentors, but especially in the formative pre-teen and teen years.

Leis Realty is one of several businesses that have been long-time partners with Youth for Christ. When asked what has inspired Leis to invest in this important mission, their response was:

“At Leis Realty, we believe in building stronger communities—and that starts with supporting our youth. We’re proud to invest in Youth for Christ because of their commitment to guiding and uplifting the next generation through faith, mentorship, and positive influence.”

As businesses invest in causes like Youth for Christ, this investment can come full circle and have a positive impact on the business as well. A business’ investment creates an opportunity to nurture future community members, clients, employees and managers, which translates into a healthier community overall. A healthy community contributes to successful businesses.

Ashley and Dustin Leis, from Leis Realty state: “Partnering with YFCMV is an investment in the next generation. Their impact on local youth is real—and as a business, there’s no better way to give back to the community we all share.”

We, at Youth for Christ, appreciate not only this partnership with Leis, but have been grateful to utilize their service of property management for the three apartments above our office space. They have been a great business to work with as they have our best interests at heart.

As long-time financial supporters, those at Leis Realty Co. have seen Youth for Christ in action since the beginning of ministry in the mid 80’s. They have seen the difference that this ministry has made in our communities over all these years.

“We’ve seen Youth for Christ make a real difference by showing up for young people—consistently and with purpose. Their team builds meaningful relationships that help students feel supported, valued, and capable of more. It’s amazing to see the transformation that happens when someone believes in a student and walks alongside them. Their ministry is helping shape stronger, more grounded youth in our community.”

Youth for Christ has had the privilege of partnering with many area businesses, and in turn, we are glad to promote these businesses and the services they offer at our community events, and through a variety of media avenues.
