As local universities and public schools are gearing up for fall semester, so is Youth For Christ. YFC is a Christian movement that works with young people around the world. The main purpose of the organization is evangelizing with young people and to do missionary work. The YFC program was inspired by the work of Jack Wyrtzen in New York City in the 1940s. North Carolina's own Billy Graham was the first full-time evangelist for Youth For Christ International. Rev. Graham's involvement with the organization helped launch his career.*
The YFC organization, including the branch in Greensboro, works hard to provide activities for youth, reasons to gather, for spiritual reasons, above and beyond attending a traditional, Sunday service. The above house at 917 North Elm Street has been transformed into home base for the YFC organization in Greensboro. From the wasp-deterring, haint-blue porch ceiling to the Boston ferns flanking the stone stairs, and those comfy white rockers, the facility is comfortable and inviting.

I have seen houses like that here converted for new uses.
