About Us
Our History
Weyburn Youth Centre has been a part of the Weyburn community since 1992, and is a part of YFC | Youth Unlimited Southeast Saskatchewan. Since the beginning, people who have cared about the youth of Weyburn and the communities of the southeast have sought to reach out to them to meet their needs where they are - social, spiritual, physical, and mental. It has always sought to be relevant and proactive to reach teens in the culture in which they live, and to act as a signpost to God within their world.
Youth for Christ in Canada and Around the World
"We see the hope and potential in every young person we meet and reach through community specific programs."
YFC | Youth Unlimited Southeast Saskatchewan is a chartered member of Youth for Christ Canada, an international, non-denominational Christian ministry who, for over 75 years, has passionately engaged young people to live their full life potential as designed by God.
Motivated by our faith, we believe that transformed youth have the opportunity to transform communities, our country, and the world. We engage and equip youth to know and follow Jesus.
We are also part of the international ministry, Youth for Christ International. YFC was founded in 1944 and its first worker was Billy Graham.
YFC is structured as an association of chapter ministries, each receiving their “charter” from the National Office. Each of Canada's 50+ chapters has an independent board of directors and is a registered charity with the Canada Revenue Agency. Each chapter is led by an Executive Director who oversees the vision, direction and overall operation of the local chapter.

Each Chapter also is also encouraged to reach out beyond the boundaries of its community to other communities and begin work in those areas as well. These ministry expansions are referred to as “satellite ministries”. The Southeast Saskatchewan YFC Chapter has a satellite ministry in Kipling. If you are a community in southeast Saskatchewan that is interested in youth ministry locally, please contact the Executive Director to talk about ministry with your young people.
