Empowering Youth
Sisters in Christ is committed to supporting and guiding young people through our Youth Life Link services, which provide mentorship, educational support, and structured guidance to help youth stay engaged, focused, and connected to positive pathways. With funding from Jackson County COMBAT (Community Backed Anti‑Drug Tax), we create safe, supportive spaces where young people can build life skills, strengthen resilience, and make healthy, constructive choices.
By addressing risk factors such as substance use, school challenges, and exposure to violence, our partnership with COMBAT helps ensure youth receive the tools, encouragement, and accountability needed to remain on track for long‑term success.
