About Us
Vision | A Youth Ministry in Every Church.
Our desire is to serve local churches (those without a youth pastor) and to provide a weekly Sunday youth program.
Our mission is to partner with kingdom-minded churches to love the youth with the gospel of Jesus and to raise them up to be the next generation of Gospel-advancing leaders.
History
Some of us grew up in small immigrant churches that lacked the resources to run a youth group in English. As a result, we missed out on having Christian mentors who could bridge that language gap to teach us God’s word.
In 2009, a group of UC Berkeley alumni with a heart for the next generation set out to try to meet that need. Small teams fanned out to serve churches across the Bay Area (those without a youth pastor) to put on a youth program each Sunday. Since then, we have expanded our ministry to many cities across the US.
Staff
We are a group of covocational ministers who are committed to seeing a youth ministry in every church. By day, our InterHigh staff are working professionals at companies such as Apple, Google, and Salesforce. But on the evenings and weekends, we get to live out our true passion: teaching the youth about Jesus. On any given week, you can find us in small churches across the US preaching sermons, leading worship, playing basketball and mentoring youth.

Safety
We take safety very seriously. InterHigh staff go through background checks, screening, and we require references in order to be accepted as a mentor. In addition, our mentors undergo annual safety and compliance training before doing any work that involves minors. We have a ”2-Adult Rule” when meeting with minors, and in-person mentorship meetings take place in open, public spaces.
