Demographics
Steubenville is located in eastern Ohio, just across the Ohio River from the state of Pennsylvania. It is the county seat of Jefferson County and home to 19,015 residents. Steubenville’s rich history is painted on 25 outside walls in the city’s downtown area. Because of this unique display, Steubenville is known as the “City of Murals.” Workers are mostly blue-collar as the city’s economic base is manufacturing. Jefferson County struggles with an unemployment rate of 7.6 percent and a high number of residents (20.4 percent) live in poverty, including nearly 30 percent of those under age 18 and 11 percent of those ages 65 and older. But what Steubenville lacks in opportunity, it makes up for in the strength and character of its residents who will warmly welcome you to serve.
About the Ministry
Participants serve in a variety of ways during a YouthWorks mission trip. Students may spend all week at one ministry or switch between ministries during the week. Ministries that your students may participate in are Kids Club and Work Projects. Kids Club is a hands-on program led by your youth offering high-energy games, crafts, skits, songs and interactive lessons all designed to help kids learn about Jesus. Whether we’re painting houses, performing minor home repair, cleaning up debris, volunteering in community gardens or other projects in the community, the projects students work on will serve as our way of blessing people in need. We cannot confirm until all groups arrive exactly what ministries your students will be a part of during the week. We ask that you come with a willing and flexible spirit!
Activities
Evening activities during a YouthWorks week are designed to give participants insight into the lives of local residents and the culture of the area. A list of possible evening/cultural activities include: Go to downtown Steubenville for a mural tour; attend a local concert; attend a local church service; and attend a community cookout. These are examples of what your group might partake in during your mission week. These examples are subject to change due to weather or availability. In case of change, suitable substitutes will be provided. We try to arrange for free evening activities, but from time to time, an additional cost may be required for an activity. Please plan to bring an additional $10 per person to cover any extra costs. We will confirm the details closer to your trip.

If you would like to bring a vehicle in this category, you will need to contact the Service Center to discuss the additional requirements due to the size of your group.
