Matt Belgie

National Youth Development Specialist
Pittsburgh, Pennyslvania

After 15 years in full time youth ministry, my wife and I felt a calling to the area our youth group had been serving on mission trips.  We moved to Philippi, West Virginia in 2005 to serve World Vision US Programs Appalachia office.  My role as Director of Children and Youth Programs opened my eyes to the effects of poverty on young people and their families.  After 3 years in the field I now serve World Visions national office as the National Youth Development Specialist. I now seek to equip World Vision youth development field staff with training and curriculum that enables them to prepare their community’s leaders to partner with youth and empower them to be agents of change.
