Youth For Tomorrow

September is National Su***de Prevention Awareness Month 💜🩵

You are not alone. Help is available.

Su***de is a leading cause of death among children and teens, but early support can save lives. At Youth For Tomorrow, we believe there is hope—and that every young person deserves the support, healing, and tools they need to build a brighter tomorrow.

This month, take time to know the signs, reach out, ask, and listen. Changes in mood, withdrawing from others, expressing hopelessness, talking about wanting to die, or engaging in risky behaviors can be signs that a young person may need help.

If you or someone you know is struggling, don't wait to reach out. Treatment and support can make a difference.

📞 Call or text 988 — Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7

⚾️❤️ Faith Day at Nationals Park was one for the books! ❤️⚾️

Youth For Tomorrow was honored to join the Washington Nationals for Faith Day and share our mission with thousands of fans for the second consecutive year! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that our Coach Joe Gibbs was a BIG draw!

As our team entered the ballpark with two life-size Coach Gibbs cutouts, fans immediately began cheering, “Hey, that’s Joe Gibbs!” and asking to take pictures with Coach. The excitement continued throughout the day at our two YFT activation areas along the outfield concourse.

One moment perfectly captured the day: A little boy, no more than six years old, stopped as he walked by our display, pointed at the Coach Gibbs cutout, and said, “Dad, that’s Coach Gibbs.” ❤️ We literally could not have scripted a better moment!

We are incredibly grateful to the Washington Nationals organization, Shawn McGuinn and Creative 2, Cornerstone Chapel, our Trustees Larry Rosenthal and Mike Flecker and the many staff members who helped make this special day possible. And, of course, a HUGE thank-you to the thousands of fans who stopped by to learn more about YFT and support our mission!

180 of our kids and staff had the opportunity to enjoy all that a day at Nationals Park could offer! From the ceremonial first pitch, to ballpark hot dogs and treats, the beautiful weather, thousands of enthusiastic fans, a celebration of faith, and a 10th-inning walk-off RBI by Dylan Crews to give the Nats the win — it was truly a day to remember! 🙌⚾️

Thank you, Nationals fans, for making Faith Day unforgettable! ❤️💙

On Thursday, we asked you to stay tuned... and now, for , we're excited to give you a glimpse of what's happening at the David & Karen Budd Outdoor Worship Center! 🙌

After 10 years, the Outdoor Worship Center is getting a much-deserved refresh and renovation! Thanks to the incredible generosity of E.E. Reed Construction East Coast and STACK INFRASTRUCTURE, this exciting work is being completed at no cost to YFT. 💙

As we watch this space being renewed, we're reminded of the importance of building on a strong foundation. Scripture tells us in 1 Corinthians 3:10-11:

"According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it... For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ."

The Outdoor Worship Center has been a place where our residents, staff, families and supporters have gathered in worship, prayer and fellowship—and we look forward to seeing this special space continue to serve as a place where lives are built on the foundation of Jesus Christ. 🙏

Take a look at these photos for a sneak peek at the progress so far and be sure to keep following along for more updates as we look forward to revealing the finished product! ✨

On this , we’re looking back on the dedication of the David & Karen Budd Outdoor Worship Center on June 8, 2016. 🙏🌿

The vision for this special place began in 2012, when then-VP for Special Events, Love Jones, and Chaplain Denny Glusko proposed the idea of creating an outdoor space where YFT residents, staff and guests could gather to seek Christ and worship together.

Inspired by the vision, David and Karen Budd—with Karen serving as a member of YFT’s Advisory Board—stepped forward as the project’s lead donors. Four years later, that vision became a beautiful reality: a peaceful outdoor sanctuary created to provide a special place for reflection, prayer, and worship. ❤️

On dedication day, Chaplain Denny Glusko welcomed guests and opened the ceremony in prayer. YFT CEO Dr. Gary Jones shared his vision and joy over the completion of the outdoor sanctuary, while Karen Budd offered heartfelt thanks to YFT and the dedicated staff whose tireless efforts helped bring this meaningful project to life.

Ten years later, this beautiful space continues to hold a special place in the heart of our campus—and we’re excited to share that there is even more to come! 👀✨

Stay tuned for some exciting updates on the Outdoor Worship Center!
