Transformed Lives. Transforming Our City.
WHAT’S IMPORTANT TO US
MISSION
Our mission is to foster an inclusive community of hope where no young person goes hungry; spiritually, emotionally, physically, or relationally.
OUR PURPOSE:
Our purpose is to positively transform this generation of youth by providing a wide range of teaching, training, relational, behavioral, and spiritual services to maximize the potential of the young lives we come into contact with.
OUR VISION:
We envision that as youth in Calgary experience God, His love, His truth, and His life-changing power, they will be transformed and will be a redemptive presence in our city and beyond. Our vision is to see transformed youth transforming this city so that our impact will not end with the youth that we serve, but rather it will continue to benefit the community as these youth become positive contributing members of society.
5 Gauges.
A Youth Unlimited gauge system that measures the progress of youth in our program.
This tool allows our field staff and volunteers to assess youth on a tangible scale and measure their development.
One of the gauges is “Renewed Character”, which measures how youth are growing in their ability to live out core values such as respect, compassion, kindness and patience. The second gauge is “Healthy Relationships” which measures the progress of youth in regards to finding a place to belong, reconciling broken relationships, discovering vibrant community, engaging in mentorship and forming positive peer friendships. The third gauge is “Clear Purpose” which measures how well each youth is doing in regards to finding a place in the world, utilizing their gifts and abilities, creating life goals developing passion, and demonstrating an eagerness to learn. The forth gauge is “Joyful Service” which will measure the extent to which youth are motivated to put others first, volunteer and give back to their communities. Lastly, the fifth gauge, “Rooted Identity” measures how youth moves from brokenness, addiction or a place of feeling trapped, to experiencing God and the freedom, hope and healing found in a relationship with Him.
Put all these five gauges together and this is the picture of transformation that Youth Unlimited desires to see in the lives of our youth and helps us measure the outcomes and successes of our programs.
