FOCUS North America launches website, video for its Youth Equipped to Serve program
The Fellowship of Orthodox Christians United to Serve — FOCUS North America — announced on November 3, 2009 the launch of a new website and video for its youth-based domestic outreach program, “Youth Equipped to Serve” [YES]. The website can be found at www.YESNorthAmerica.org. The video can be found at www.yesnorthamerica.org/yesvideo.
“We are so excited for you to get to know the YES Program through our new website and YES video,” said Katrina Bitar, YES program director. “Read testimonies from students, view videos that they made and hear firsthand how God is working in the lives of the youth that become His hands and feet in service to the poor.”
FOCUS North America believes that engaging all of the faithful, especially youth, in the Gospel work of serving the poor in our own communities is essential in keeping the youth faithful to Christ and active in the Church for a lifetime. The YES Program has dramatically influenced the spiritual lives of its hundreds of participants.

FOCUS North America and its programs are committed to serve those in need, support Orthodox Christian social action ministries and supply parishes and others with the education, resources and training to initiate social action ministries in their own communities.
