Chad Gelderman

Youth Worker

Chad knows personally just how significantly someone’s life can change when they are surrounded by a community of support, growth, and belief in one another. That’s why he strives to make a difference in his community and his world. At YU, Chad connects with young dads through hands-on projects, like tuning bikes, repairing cars, or preparing for an upcoming driving test. He also journeys alongside young parents and their kids in YU’s Young Families community where he works to develop healthy relationships and an environment where youth and families can thrive and feel valued and loved. Chad is excited to work with YU in its mission to impact the lives of others for the better!
