Volunteer in Youth Challenge of Hampton Roads

Youth Challenge of Hampton Roads is dedicated to rebuilding lives devastated by drug addiction and alcoholism, restoring hope in families, and establishing productive citizens back into the community. Their mission emphasizes a holistic approach to recovery, focusing on spiritual, emotional, and physical healing. By providing a faith-based environment, they aim to empower individuals to overcome addiction and lead purposeful lives. Through comprehensive programs and community support, Youth Challenge strives to make a lasting impact on individuals and their families.

Founded in 1979 by Rev. Troy Collier, Youth Challenge of Hampton Roads has been serving the community for over four decades. Rev. Collier, once an alcoholic himself, established the 22nd Teen Challenge in the U.S. and later brought his vision to Newport News, Virginia. Starting in a small building, the organization expanded to include a Women’s Home and a 39,000 sq.ft. facility known as the Hope Center, which houses the Men’s Home and administrative offices. Today, Youth Challenge serves the entire Hampton Roads region, offering faith-based recovery programs that have transformed thousands of lives.
