As an expression of God’s grace and love, this ministry will provide youth opportunities for community worship, mentorship, wellness, and mutually enriching relationships. Trusting and believing that God heals and creates new life, our (Bridges of Hope’s) intent is to accompany and empower youth toward a future with hope.
Because of our holistic and empowering approach to working with at-risk youth, Charles Hall Youth Services welcomes the opportunity to partner in mission and ministry with Heart River Bridges of Hope.

Bush Foundation awards CHYS major grant
Charles Hall Youth Services has been awarded a $100,000 grant from the Bush Foundation in 2009
for capacity-building efforts. The grant will support selected capacity-building efforts for greater sustainability
for the not-for-profit agency. This grant comes following the agency's completion of a two-year grant in
2007/08 with Bush for over $180,000.
Charles Hall wil continue to work hard to advocate for North Dakota's kids --- especially for those who are
marginalized because of their life situations. Our kids and families need us now more than ever.
We are doing good, solid work today. We do make a difference in kids' lives.
Our goal is to make an even stronger difference, and one that will impact future generations of North Dakota families.
