Hundreds of people who were headed down a dark path in life decided to turn their lives around by participating in a local program, organized by the New Life for Youth Ministry. The program that began in Central Virginia has helped countless people get off the streets and turn their lives around for good for 40 years. New Life For Youth helps people with troubles in life by providing them the opportunity to receive the vital skills that are necessary for a complete life change. The hundreds who participate each year and the thousands who have walked through the program live on the ministry’s ranch in Spotsylvania or in one of their residential homes in Richmond. Those individuals also are fed, clothed and endure a strict schedule starting around 5:45 a.m. The program also employs the male participants at the Wash-N-Roll car wash in Chesterfield and the women at the thrift store across the street.
