YouthCompass is an organization that challenges third-culture kids (TCK) to help and give to those who are less fortunate.  This organization was founded by a group of expat parents who wanted to help their teens by creating a positive community for them.  Helping them learn how to be charitable and helpful all while having fun with their peers, creating friendships and enough memories to last a lifetime.

Executive Director Thomas Speckhardt explains “We are a community youth organisation, led by Christian volunteers and staff. Through local and regional programs for youth ages 12-19, we are able to create opportunities for the sons and daughters of expats to enjoy life together, and give to others by participating on our humanitarian relief projects. A mix of weekly events, camps, and service projects led by committed youth leaders build a caring community for highly mobile teens.”  The organization now has groups in several countries, all with the help of adult volunteers.
