YouthRoots is a “digital youth room” where students and leaders can meet 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is a powerful tool that lets youth leaders extend the reach of their programs through the Web, and build stronger faith connections with their students.

YouthRoots was designed from the ground up to serve the needs of leaders of faith communities, with features that are attractive and familiar to students. It combines the best features of the top social networking sites on the Web and introduces a higher level of safety and control through the concepts of Groups and Group Leaders. By empowering youth groups and their leaders, YouthRoots provides a safer environment for social interaction:

• Increase involvement by including members, friends and family in your group's online activities, and grow membership by introducing other, like-minded participants to the group. Promote group involvement through participation in online forums, photo galleries and other social networking tools which reside on your Group’s YouthRoots Portal.
  
  
• Share information with family and friends through your personal member page, with complete control what elements of your page they can see – or whether they can view your page at all.
  
  
• Interact with other Groups who may have similar interests via Forums, shared Event Calendars (coming soon) and safe, private messaging facilities built into the site.
  
  
• Become a Friend of your favorite faith-oriented artists and interact with them on their special Group pages.
