Who We Are

About NYWUSA

A nationally recognized nonprofit fighting for the lives and futures of America's youth since 2003.

Our Story

Our Mission & History

Outreach Ministries International was established in June 2003, as a corporation composed of educators, business owners, financial consultants, licensed counselors, sociologists, and ministers. We work globally through schools, nonprofits, and individuals that support our youth.

Our focus is to facilitate young people to discover the power of their purpose and to help save lives. We do that by providing resources, hosting events, and partnering with other youth organizations to teach conflict resolution, anger management, and self-worth.

We are fighting against youth suicide, homicide, school shootings, and self-hatred. We also have a week dedicated to youth to celebrate their potential and promise through innovation, community service, teamwork, and achievement.
