DiverseCity Contributions

DiverseCity Ministry seeks to empower youth to discover their talent and potential to succeed. Teens are paid for the work they do. DeVaugh, a 15 year old participant, relates his success to, "being able to work a legitimate job to help pay the bills for my family. I could be hustling, stealing or selling drugs, but now I can be proud of the work I do and make honest money."

DiverseCity Ministry gladly accepts your monetary contribution which helps pay teenagers like DeVaughn. We do not accept in-kind donations because this represents a hand out which disempowers the receipent. If you would like to make a specific donation which will suppliment the needs of the ministry, please contact Melvin Satterfield or Pastor Tim. Thank you for joining DiverseCity Ministry and working to change neighborhoods one person at a time.
