The 316 House
In the summer of 2009, Youth Works embarked on a remodeling project that led them to the 300 Block of Jefferson Street. With the help of neighborhood youth, as well as churches and other volunteers, a townhouse was renovated in the name of Jesus and has become known as “316.” 316 has gone from a residence for families in transition in 2009, to its current model as a community gathering place for children and teens. Re-opening in September 2013, 316 is a now a warm, welcoming environment, open weekly for youth to come and use the internet, play games and hang out, or simply to escape the day-to-day boredom that often leads to trouble. It is there that they interact with our staff and volunteers, seeing and hearing about all that Christ has done for them.

My name is Kaleb Perdew I am married to my beautiful wife Kelsey and we have a dog named Bruce. We live in the South Side of Billings and my hobbies are skiing, fishing, hiking, biking, playing basketball and playing golf. I also enjoy sharing these interests with kids. Most important my passion for Youth Works is showing kids the joy found in Christ and the greater purpose in life that comes with following him.
