YCCT works with youth across various ages to engage them in the art of theater. Twice a year the organization coaches youth to present plays to their local communities at no charge.
YCCT is comprised of steering committee of 11 passionate volunteers and leaders across various communities. Their united goal to make a real difference in rural communities to yield impactful positive change in the lives of youth.
Our community is full of people who want to help. We work to connect youth with local churches and pastors across the local footprint. We engage local leaders through an annual leadership breakfast, a weekly community wide prayer line, an annual youth conference and various theater performances.
