Help Build a More Connected Jacksonville

In 1990, a quiet 13-year-old walked into a new youth leadership experience. He didn’t know what to expect — only that it would take him out of his comfort zone.

What happened next shaped his entire future.

“I know it sounds a little dramatic, but it truly opened my heart and mind to the power of connection and understanding people who are different from me—and each other.”

— Michael “MykMyk” Stephens (Sandy Miller OneYouth Metrotown Participant – 1990)

That student became a teacher. Then a pastor. He never stopped showing up — returning year after year to help guide new generations of young people on their journey toward empathy and belonging.

This is the kind of lasting impact your gift makes possible — not just for one student, but for hundreds more who follow.
