Mission

The mission of the ACO Youth Chapter is to cultivate the next generation of Christian leaders, equipped with the skills, values, and empathy needed to make a difference in the world. We aim to empower youth to discover their potential, embrace their faith, and become advocates for justice, kindness, and equality in accordance with Christian teachings. We emphasize the following beliefs as we achieve our goals together:
  • Empowerment: We believe in empowering youth to embrace their God-given gifts and talents, providing opportunities for personal and spiritual growth, and empowering them to lead with courage and conviction.
  • Compassion: Compassion is at the heart of our chapter, reflecting Christ’s love for others. We strive to empathize with those in need, extend kindness and support, and cultivate a culture of compassion and understanding.
  • Leadership: We nurture leadership qualities in our members, encouraging them to lead by example, serve others selflessly, and inspire positive change in their communities through the guidance of Christian principles.
  • Inclusivity: Inclusivity is fundamental to our Christian faith, welcoming individuals from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and walks of life. We embrace everyone as beloved children of God, fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where all are valued and respected.
  • Resilience: We foster resilience in our members, helping them navigate life’s challenges with faith and courage, trusting in God’s strength and guidance to overcome obstacles and emerge stronger in their faith journey.

How to Get Involved:

The Africa Cries Out Youth Chapter is dedicated to responding to the immense needs of impoverished communities in Senegal and Guinea Bissau. We believe by helping improve access to education and healthcare, we can help them break the cycle of poverty, hunger, and disease. We invite you to join us in impacting lives and building destinies. You can get involved by contributing your time, skills and financial resources. Your involvement will give these children access to life changing opportunities, such as medical care, educational support, and mentorships.
