About Us

What we do

Youth Overcoming Life's Obstacles is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based out of Billings, Montana, with the primary goal of helping youth successfully transition into adulthood. We help prepare these young people by providing them with 26 crucial life skills from a nondenominational, Biblical perspective, specifically from the book of Proverbs.

Why we do it

Our inspiration comes from Proverbs 4:6, "Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you." As we all know, the future of our world is in the youth. Our goal is to equip young people with life skills to take on the next chapter in their lives. By being proactive, these teens can get a head start on the rest of society, as some don't learn these important lessons until it's too late. Together, we can each individually live our best lives and change the world for better.
