What is it all about?

At the beginning of April, our long-standing collaboration with the well-meaning Prodoteo Foundation came to an end. In this new and unexpected situation, we are now completely reliant on our own resources as well as donations from people who support our mission for the young generation.

However, we believe that this is a time full of potential - a great opportunity to invite you to help shape our vision!

What specifically are we raising funds for?

We are raising funds to enable our youth work to continue effectively over the next three months. We would like to cover the following costs:

• Purchasing materials for workshops (artistic, technical, medical, social media, integrative) at the weekly JafaTeens meetings(6th-8th grade) in May and June,
• Organising a weekend retreat in May for teenagers from Krakow, Katowice and Warsaw - including honorarium for the guest speaker, T-shirts for the participants, workshop materials and support for the ministry team leading small groups, facilitating worship, caring for the young people and ensuring their safety,
• Partial funding of the pilgrimage of our high school group and worship team to the 2025 Youth Jubilee in Rome, a central event of the Holy Year under the motto "Pilgrims of Hope".

Who are we?

We are a community of almost 50 people who have been creating a space with and for young people for over 7 years - following the words of Psalm 145:

"One generation praises Your works to the next and proclaims Your mighty deeds!"

Our vision

We want young people to encounter Jesus through our work and, if they decide to follow Him, to develop both in their faith and personally.

Our goal is for young people to reach full maturity in the Christian life - to become strong in the Lord, to be the light of the world and salt of the earth and to have a tangible impact on those around them.

How do we achieve this?

We offer regular formation events for four age groups - from preschoolers to high school age youth. The children's groups meet monthly and the youth groups (about 45 people) meet weekly.

During these meetings, we get to know God and ourselves better together: We read the Bible, praise God with songs and dance, listen to inspiring talks.

There is also room for discussion, doubts, questions and sharing experiences.

We recognise the importance of deep relationships and personal development - which is why we invest in high-quality, creative workshops that promote talent and self-confidence. And of course, we don't forget to have fun - to get to know each other better and have a good time together.

We also engage with them in ministry - both within our groups (e.g. with the younger ones) and outside, such as on weekend trips or school services and retreats.

Join us!

We invite you to become part of our vision - so that young people become strong in the Lord, full of passion and joy and free from sadness, fear and hopelessness!

The world needs authentic witnesses of hope - and they do not fall from the sky, but are created through care and commitment.

Young people, don't wait until tomorrow to inspire the world with your energy,

your energy, your courage and your creativity. Your life is not an "in-between".

You are the now of God who wants you to bear fruit.

- Pope Francis(Christus Vivit 178)
