YOKE has enlisted the help of our volunteers to help raise $30,000 for middle school ministry. The campaign is online and peer-to-peer – meaning its success depends on YOKE Folk reaching out to their connections. Every gift counts! In fact, the goal is for each YOKE Folk to enlist 14 friends to give $14 by February 14 – to share love with the middle school students that they serve. If every volunteer gets involved, we’ll exceed our goal.
Money raised from the campaign will go directly to fund YOKE’s ministry. This ministry includes things like recruiting and training volunteers, camp scholarships, and supplies for our clubs across 5 counties (including cases of Mountain Dew). Donors can be confident that stewardship is important to us at YOKE, with .88 cents of every dollar donated going directly to programs.
“There’s nothing more important than having a consistent, loving, accepting adult presence in a middle schoolers’ life,” said Makenzey Murr, a former YOKE Kid who now helps lead the team at Karns Middle School. “I remember how impactful it was to be a part of a group of people who truly accepted me in middle school. Since 2012, I have been going to Karns every Tuesday to be that consistent adult presence in my YOKE kid’s lives. We strive to show kids that they matter and to help them discover their identity and purpose in Christ. I hope you’ll consider donating to a ministry that has a special place in my heart.”
