Overview

Mission

YWAM Detroit exists to equip and send fully-surrendered followers of Jesus from Detroit into their missional calling. We work alongside youth and young adults in the community through training service and sharing their faith. Our goal is to empower the next generation of Detroit youth to live their lives on mission with Jesus to see transformation in their communities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Through our short-term volunteer mission team program we were able to train and equip over 100 youth and young adults in their Christian faith while serving the greater Detroit area in over a dozen service projects and 1,000 volunteer hours in the city.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
