Youth With A Mission is an international volunteer movement of Christians from many backgrounds, cultures and Christian traditions, dedicated to serving Jesus throughout the world. Also known as YWAM (pronounced "WHY-wham"), our purpose is simply to know God and to make Him known. When YWAM began in 1960, our main focus was giving young people opportunities to demonstrate the love of Jesus to the whole world, according to His command in Mark 16: 15. Today, we still focus on youth, but we have members (known as "YWAMers") of almost every age and many of our short-term efforts have grow into long-term endeavors that have impacted lives and nations. Our mission encourages new vision and the exploration of new ways to change lives through training, convey the message of the gospel and care for those in need. YWAM currently operates in more than 1000 locations in over 150 countries, with a staff of nearly 16, 000. Our vision is to equip, train and commission people of all ages, whose passion for Jesus will impact the needy and make disciples in the cities and towns of Northern California, unreached people groups and developing nations. We will do this through life-changing training schools,, serving, and partnering with the body of Christ.

The Community Action Agency of Butte County is dedicated to alleviating poverty by providing essential services in the areas of affordable food, energy savings, and housing.

With a mission focused on empowering individuals to achieve self-sustainability, the agency manages initiatives that assist low-income families in weatherizing their homes and accessing affordable housing options. By actively seeking partnerships and community engagement, they aim to enable families to take on greater responsibility and improve their quality of life. Generated from the website
