About

Responsibility USA (RUSA) is a national teen challenge and mentoring program.  We work with churches and schools to help teenagers find purpose and direction in their lives.  We have three guiding principles in our program:

I am responsible for…

Myself- Teaching personal responsibility

My Country- Teaching patriotism and community service

My World- Teaching teenagers to make a difference in the lives of others around the world

Our Purpose

Our purpose is to provide a fun environment where teens can hang out, have a good time, and learn some of life’s most important lessons.  We want to provide role models for our teens that show a pattern of success, and we want to provide a place where friendships can develop; a place that helps young people successfully transition from being a child to an adult.

Our Program

Our program is a mixture of group activities, life studies, and mentoring.  The activities include camps, sports tournaments, ski trips, gym nights, nationwide youth rallies, and mission trips.  Our activities meet our goal of being fun and educational.  Our workers are handpicked and are put in an intensive training program that teaches the workers skills involving mentoring, counseling, tutoring, teaching, and planning.
