We invite you to partner with us to empower the youth of West Michigan and beyond through the annual Where U At Urban Youth Conference! Since 2006, more than 75 churches, nonprofits, and ministries have collaborated to offer a powerful, multiethnic, faith-filled weekend retreat for urban teens and their leaders. Each fall, over 250 youth and their mentors gather to engage deeply with God, grow in character, and reclaim their purpose through worship, small groups, creative arts, sports, and leadership development.

‍ ‍What makes Where U At? Unique:

• It’s youth-led , featuring teen emcees, worship leaders, and artists.

• It’s multiethnic and city-rooted, designed specifically for urban youth.

• It offers a safe, transformative space for spiritual growth and lasting friendships.

We are asking for your support to make this life-changing weekend possible. By becoming a sponsor, you will be prominently featured on event materials and recognized across our platforms—while directly investing in the future of youth and our city. If appropriate, we would welcome you to put information about your organization or provide branded giveaways for the weekend. Please review the giving options on the following page. All donations are tax-deductible through our fiscal sponsor, Grand Rapids Initiative for Leaders (GRIL). Let’s equip the next generation to leave a legacy.
