Young Life doesn’t start with a program. It starts with adults concerned enough about kids to go to them, on their turf and in their culture, building bridges of authentic friendship. These relationships don’t happen overnight — they take time, patience, trust and consistency.
So Young Life leaders log many hours with kids around the world — where they are, as they are. Leaders faithfully go up to the schools in order to build relationships and friendships with many kids. We listen to their stories and learn what’s important to them because we genuinely care about their joys, triumphs, heartaches and setbacks.
We believe in the power of presence. Kids’ lives are dramatically impacted when caring adults come alongside them, sharing God’s love with them. Because their leader believes in them, they begin to see that their lives have great worth, meaning, and purpose.
We have Young Life outreach to several high school students in our area. This includes our weekly clubs and weekly small group meetings.
We are currently have a thriving YoungLives ministry in our area. This is a place for teen moms and pregnant teens to have fun, learn life skills, and experience friendship.
We are currently restarting WyldLife in our area. We will eventually have a weekly meeting for middle school kids to attend.
Our committee consists of adults in the area who pray, support our staff and leaders, raise funds, and represent Young Life to their community.
