Youth for Christ in Mauritius started in 1974 with missions from South Africa through the initiative of Denis House and Geoff Rutter. On 8 June 1980, Youth for Christ Mauritius was officially fully chartered. Terry and Pauline Sparks were the first full-time workers and Rodney Curpanen became the first National Director. Cyril Palan, after starting as a Board Member, became Secretary, then Board Chair, Acting National Director and National Director. He is currently Regional Director. Dylan Palan took over as National Director in 2018.
Youth for Christ Mauritius operates a youth resource centre along with a basketball pitch and an adventure park in the center of the island where numerous activities are regularly organized: sports, music, clubs, trainings, outings, social involvements and outreach programs, geared towards youth interests.
