Males age 13 to 18 struggling with sexual brokenness, abuse or pornography addiction, can participate in a healing weekend Friday through Sunday.

The Voice to Valor Weekend, sponsored by Voice Today, is a faith-based, Christ-centered retreat that offers a unique opportunity for young men to be ministered to during an adventure filled three days that will include fishing and hiking.Voice Today is a Marietta nonprofit dedicated to ending sexual abuse. Many have few resources to help them heal.

Registration is now open with limited spaces available. Scholarships are available on a first come, first serve basis.
