This past winter, Pastor Jim Galanaugh, YouthPartnersNet team member, laced up his sneakers and directed a basketball clinic for 695 Denver at-risk inner-city youth. Partnering with the Whiz Kids and 328 volunteers and more than 2,920 in-kind service hours, "Slam Dunk Saturday" was indeed a Slam Dunk!

TechMission Real Impact Stories
Pamela was looking for a chance to care for children at an orphanage. Her search on ChristianVolunteering.org would eventually lead all the way from her home in Singapore to the Nepal Children Welfare Association (www.fmorphan.org).
Amanda was looking for an opportunity to practice her Spanish while using her gifts as a teacher. Through ChristianVolunteering.org, she found that Iglesia Bautista Shalom was looking for a teacher's aide for their ESL class.
Linda Lacy was once homeless with four children. After gaining stability, she was compelled to help other women face the challenges she once knew. She found City Vision College on the Internet and began to seek a qualified urban ministry that was willing to "allow her to intern"; that's how she came to Salem Union Gospel Mission.
