Youth Challenge of Hampton Roads

Youth Challenge of Hampton Roads is a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in Newport News since 1979 that provides long-term residential treatment for men and women who are addicts, helping non-violent drug offenders rebuild their lives.  Rev. Travis Hall is a distinguished graduate.  After 18 years of drug addiction that had nearly destroyed his life, Hall was lost and without hope.  He entered Youth Challenge in 2000, where he learned skills that helped him find work with a Fortune 200 company.  After many years in the business world, Hall was called to return to Youth Challenge, this time to serve as its Program Director.  When founder Troy Collier passed away in 2015, the Board of Directors chose Hall to become Youth Challenge Executive Director.  Hall has two Liberty University degrees: a bachelor's in Psychology with a specialism in Addiction and Recovery, and a master's in Executive Leadership.  He also is an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God International Fellowship.
