Who Are We and What Do We Do?
Each summer, In Our Own Backyard Summer Program selects a diverse group of high school teens to participate in a four day program geared towards learning about poverty and faith. After the four days, participants of the In Our Own Backyard Summer Program are invited to join the Mecklenburg Ministries Youth Council, which is active from August to June. The Youth Council meets to address issues in the community and learn from each other.
