What Is Student Venture?
Student Venture is the high school and middle school outreach of Campus Crusade for Christ International. Since 1966, we have been reaching out to teenagers with more than 600 full-time staff, Student Venture affiliates, and local community volunteers. Student Venture is a contributing member of the Campus Alliance and National Network of Youth Ministries©. Through the Campus Alliance, Student Venture and 60 other national organizations are working hand in hand to help develop campus movements so that every student at every campus has the opportunity to grow in character and know Christ.
Where Is Student Venture?
Student Venture is currently serving in 22 metro locations and over 100 affiliate locations in the U.S.
Our Passion
The heartbeat of Student Venture is teenagers. They not only represent the future leaders and parents of our nation and world, but they are a major influence in today's society. Seldom will a day go by that teenagers are not the focus of national and worldwide news, both for good and bad. We work with students because they represent the most responsive age group to the gospel. Over 80% of those who receive Christ do so by age 18.
Our Purpose
The mission of Student Venture is to give every teenager the opportunity to hear the truth and love of Jesus Christ, to grow in their faith relationship with Him, and to reach others with the message of Christ. We call it Win - Build - Send.
