OUR HISTORY
APRIL 1997 - THE BEGINNING
Trusting that God could transform the city of Charlotte through youth, a group of Christian business professionals began meeting regularly to pray for the next generation. This movement resulted in a group of high school students being commissioned to love their classmates, live out the gospel and organize a Bible club on their school campus.
CAROLINA YOUTH COMMISSION
CYC was established to mobilize students to advance the Great Commission. A multitude of young leaders throughout North and South Carolina answered the call by launching “CYC Clubs” with their classmates.
YOUTH COMMISSION INTERNATIONAL
As the ministry grew, so did the vision. Inspired by what God was doing in the Carolinas, students from neighboring states developed a desire to launch Bible clubs with their friends. To accommodate this expansion, we changed our name to YCI (Youth Commission International). Today, God continues to use our team to identify, train, resource and commission students to launch YCI clubs both domestically and abroad.
