SUPPORT CHANGE A HEART
Change A Heart provides the tools, resources and opportunities for young people to further develop their personal and professional skills so they can build and maintain their relationship with those in need, their peers, others in the local community such as at their parish, themselves, and most importantly, with God.
Donate now to help us support young people by supporting the work we do.
