Bend Youth Collective
The Bend Youth Collective was created because a collective of churches who came together under a similar goal: how do we support our middle and high school youth?
Bend Church, Nativity Lutheran, Story Dwelling, First Presbyterian, Trinity Episcopal and The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon came together to create a safe space for middle school and high school students to have fun, create community, and grow relationships with trusted adults.
These churches partnered together with the Together Lab to create safe programs for our youth that are aligned with the Youth Solidarity Movement. We believe that together we can create a space where our youth feel noticed, named and known
