Ecumenical Youth Group (EYG), established 1972 in Delaware, OH, creates a safe place for open, thoughtful conversation, community, and service for high schoolers. Non-denominational, all-inclusive, and totally free for all students, EYG meets every Sunday to discuss heavy-hitting topics and serious issues. Helping the teenagers grow and flourish into critical thinkers & fabulous adults, EYG has a fully committed counselor team, most former EYGers.

Every year EYG goes on a week-long Workcamp. It is a week of transformation: not just at the work site, but for the students themselves. The students learn multiple skills, from how to use power tools to the value of really hard work (even in the rain!). Most importantly, they learn about community, diversity, and service.

During Workcamp, students transform the community, saving families in need tens of thousands of dollars on labor and supplies, improving quality of life, bettering homes and enhancing neighborhoods.

This year EYG is going to Johnstown, PA. To make this transformation a reality, we need your help.
