What You Can Do

Christ compels each of us to give—our time, our prayers, our resources. When we give, we all walk together as one. Walking alongside youth in crisis helps make one less. And one less eventually becomes none.

Two young men in blue volunteer shirts embrace outdoors, smiling warmly. One faces the camera, wearing a smartwatch, while the others back is visible. The background is softly blurred.

We’re Changing the Narrative

Our Valley Is Building the
Best System of Support
for Youth in Crisis

We’re building a movement. Churches, nonprofits, and neighbors are coming together to walk with the youth of Our Valley. Together, our care leads to one less youth in crisis.

Collaborative Impact

What Our Valley Can Do. Together.

How We Support Youth in Crisis

It takes a village. We have an obligation to the youth in our community—to protect, to provide, and to empower them if they are in crisis. None of us can do it alone. But when Our Valley walks together, stories change.

The Gospel calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves. Our Valley Cares gives our church a tangible way to live that out across the Valley.

Mark Snee
Senior Pastor, City Church

Every survivor we serve is a reminder of why this matters. Because Our Valley Cares, we’re working to ensure that no exploited youth is ever left to face the darkness alone.

Debra Rush
Founder/Executive Director, Breaking The Chains

For years, we’ve prayed for a unified response to the brokenness we see every day. Our Valley Cares is the answer to that prayer—a way to bring real care, real partnership, and real change to our Valley’s youth.
