Imagine a teenage boy, lost and alone, trapped in a cycle of addiction and despair. He sees no way out, no hope for the future.
This is the heartbreaking reality for countless young men across Missouri.
But at Ozarks Teen Challenge, we offer a lifeline. We provide a structured, Christ-centered environment where these teens can find healing, discover their God-given purpose, and become the men God created them to be. As the only adolescent male Teen Challenge center in the state, we are a beacon of hope, offering professional care and guidance to those who desperately need it.
The statistics are staggering: The Missouri Department of Mental Health reports that 17,500 young people between 12 and 17 struggle with substance use disorders. These are not just numbers; these are sons, brothers, and friends who are crying out for help.
They are trapped in a battle they cannot win alone. But there is hope.
At Ozarks Teen Challenge, we’ve seen young men who were once lost in addiction find freedom and new life in Christ. We’ve witnessed broken hearts healed, shattered dreams restored, and families reunited. One of our graduates shared;
“OTC was the best place for me… helping me break cycles and leading me toward the path of wisdom.”
Your support today can make that kind of difference for another young man.
We need your help to provide scholarships to families with limited financial resources. We don’t want to turn anyone away because of financial constraints. In fact, we have several families who are facing financial hardship and need your immediate assistance to make this life-changing program possible for their sons.
Every dollar you give is an investment in a young man’s future, an opportunity for him to break free from addiction and step into a life filled with purpose and hope. Please, don’t wait. Your gift is urgently needed. Give today and be a part of the miracle of transformation.
This is Ozarks Teen Challenge in action, standing up against the addiction epidemic. Your gift, no matter the size, will make an eternal impact. Thank you!
