Mission

Our mission is to lift up Chattanooga's youth with a message of hope and an experience of God's glory. Every Valley has provided Chattanooga's young people with opportunities to participate in a bold mission that takes their challenges and their perspectives seriously. No matter what sort of valley they face, no matter how big the obstacle, no matter how uneven the ground, no matter how rough the terrain, we teach them to hang on to the goodness and greatness of God. Then watch Him show everyone His glory,

Program accomplishments

  • Every Valley's intervention with youth ages 13-23 has been met with much appreciation from our participants and their families, as well as from community leaders, educators, and other service providers. Our strategy of engaging young people "Where they are" brings us face to face with situations of interpersonal conflict, gang activity, and the criminal justice system. We also intervene when we encounter school absenteeism, deficiencies in academic achievement and behavioral issues. We serve those who feel misunderstood and marginalized and who struggle with losing all hope.
