About YOUTH WITH A MISSION COSTA RICA
Youth With A Mission Costa Rica (YWAM Costa Rica) is a Dallas‑based 501(c)(3) public charity that raises funds in the United States to support YWAM San José’s ministries in Costa Rica. The organization’s principal program is “Homes of Hope,” a volunteer-driven housebuilding initiative that partners with local leaders and churches to provide safe housing for families in need.
YWAM Costa Rica also supports YWAM San José’s training programs (including Discipleship Training School and University of the Nations courses), mobilizes volunteer teams from churches and schools, and provides project funding and capital support for community facilities. Recent IRS filings show the organization operating at multi‑hundred‑thousand to multi‑million dollar revenue levels in recent years and using contributions to fund homes and program work in Costa Rica.
Leadership listed on recent filings includes a small board of directors and named officers; the organization has maintained annual Form 990 filings since recognition as tax‑exempt in 2016 and operates with an active web presence for volunteer signups and donations.
