Mentor Program & RESIDENT FELLOWS PROGRAM
Haven House is a Fellowship
Haven House is a home and a Christian Study Center operated by missionaries affiliated with Youth With A Mission (YWAM). The YWAM Student Centre is a nonprofit religious organization that provides a religious educational fellowship for university students and ministry participants. Residents participate in long-term fellowship through shared meals, prayer, study, mentoring, hospitality, and spiritual formation within a cooperative household setting.
Supervision
The house and ministry are supervised by resident leaders and YWAM missionaries, John & Mary, who are responsible for maintaining community standards, household operations, and program oversight.
Home
The residence functions as a single housekeeping unit where participants live cooperatively as a single household under mission-based communal living principles.
Haven House Mentor Program
Grow in Faith. Build Lasting Friendships. Follow Jesus with Confidence.
College can be an exciting time filled with new opportunities, but it can also bring challenges. Many college students and young adults face loneliness, pressure, and confusing ideas about life and faith. Without strong Christian friendships and guidance, some drift away from their relationship with Jesus.
The Haven House Mentor Program, our core program, exists to help students and other young adults learn to remain rooted in their faith as they grow into confident Christian adults. Through caring relationships with mature believers, students and young adults receive encouragement, wisdom, and practical support as they navigate college life and beyond.
Why Mentorships Matter
We believe that spiritual growth happens best in relationships. A Spiritual Mentorship does not replace regular church fellowship, Bible studies, or outreach activities; the mentorship personalizes and deepens Christian growth. The pathway to spiritual leadership has always been through the wise counsel of a mentor. Therefore, we offer a trusted Spiritual Growth Mentorship Program—connecting students and young adults to a mature follower of Jesus who walks alongside them, prays with them, and helps them grow in faith.
Some young adults already have someone they would like to serve in this role. Others may ask Haven House to connect them with a mentor from our Christian community.
Just as an academic advisor helps students succeed in school, a Spiritual Growth Mentor helps students grow in their walk with Christ.
Mentor Program Fees
The Haven House Mentor Program fee is $100 per month, which helps cover program materials and activities. However, thanks to generous supporters, most students are invited to participate through scholarships, making the program available at little or no cost. Participation in the Mentor Program does not require living at Haven House. Students may join while living elsewhere. Whether living at Haven House or participating as a non-resident, every student is invited to grow in faith, build meaningful relationships, and become a faithful Christian presence on campus and in the world.

A few students and ministry interns are invited to live at Haven House to participate long-term through shared meals, prayer, study, mentoring, fellowship, hospitality, and spiritual formation.

Resident Fellows Program Fees

Not Open to General Public
Haven House is not operated as a hotel, boarding house, dormitory, transient lodging facility, or commercial rental enterprise. Rooms are not available to the general public. Residency is limited to approved participants engaged in the fellowship and educational mission of the Christian Study Center. The property is not open to the general public for lodging or short-term occupancy.
A Christian Study Center
The primary purpose of the residence is religious, educational, and community-oriented living integrated into a shared household environment. As a Christian Study Center, Haven House offers meeting space for Christian faculty members and student leaders to conduct Bible studies, lectures, and fellowship.
Haven House has been accepted into the Consortium of Christian Study Centers.
