Who We Are Feb 21

We are a collection of youth pastors who may have different backgrounds, and denominational labels, but we share one common passion….Teenagers. We believe that together we can effectively reach and restore a lost generation.

We are The Refuge Youth Center a nonprofit organization that seeks to provide an emotionally and physically safe environment where teenagers can come participate in events and activities that develop a desire in them to not only better themselves, but the communities around them. The Center offers teenagers in the surrounding community an opportunity to engage in their youthful hobbies (skateboarding, basketball, art, music, dance, drama.) and other after school activities that allow them to develop and foster their creative skills and talents without compromising their safety or their character. The long term goal of the Refuge Youth Center is to empower teenagers by providing a positive peer group and environment, allowing them to develop the personal habits that will help them make a positive impact on themselves, their family, friends, and community.

We are Dan and Regan Brodeur Directors of The Refuge Youth Center. We have been in youth ministry here in Phoenix for 10 years. We have three children Marley, James, and Benjamin. We have a passion to see this generation of youth come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ, His love and plans for each and everyone of them.
