SYC Fall Kick-Off! September 20th

Kick-off the new year with SYC! Burgers, games and getting crafty with CreativiTEE. This year our theme is Knowing Yourself and how that helps us connect with God and others. At SYC we respect everyone as a beloved child of God and invite you to come as your whole self.

Hey 6-12th graders!

We are a collective of middle school and high school youth in Salem-Keizer
who are creating a space where we get to be our fullest selves together.

We’re straight and queer.
We’re neurotypical and neurodivergent.
We struggle with our mental health sometimes.
We’re agnostic, Christian, and honestly, not always sure some days.
We’re learning to love people like Jesus did. It’s beautiful. And hard.
We participate in our local church and we love gathering with new friends from lots of churches.

We’re trying to figure out who we are.
What is life about? What kind of person do I want to be? What matters most?

We know that we can’t do life alone
and it helps to have friends & adults we trust around us.

If this is a space you’re looking for, you’re welcome anytime. Truly.

We’re in this together.
