TYM is a Christian organization dedicated to serving at-risk children in the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento. Through intensive summer camping and year-round follow-up, youngsters recognize they are loved unconditionally and understand the power of Christ to change lives. Programs are provided primarily to children in the Santa Clara, San Mateo, Contra Costa, Alameda, and Sacramento counties.

Today’s Youth Matter, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, was created to offer foster care children a reason for hope and a future. We first develop relationships with our children and teens through an intensive summer program, where over 250 children will come to camp, free of charge, to experience the love of God. While immersed in a pristine wilderness in the company of caring adults, the children progress along an emotional journey that leaves many transformed with a greater sense of selves.

All our programs are offered free of charge to foster care youth in Sacramento and in the San Francisco Bay Area.

We typically serve over 250 children during summer camp and backpacking trips, where often times we meet them for the first time.  After summer, we look to continue and build relationships with year-round follow up.
