Part teacher. Part friend. Part mentor. It's hard to define a YL leader, but one thing is certain. Young Life volunteers walk alongside teenagers - making a difference one life at a time.
If you have a heart for teenagers and a love for Jesus Christ, you have what it takes to be a Young Life leader. Most often, volunteers work with kids close to where they live or work. Leaders are needed to work with students from Byron Nelson High School and Westlake Academy.
This is the most important and most rewarding position in
Young Life. Without the volunteer leader, there would be no ministry.

Mission Statement
To introduce adolescents to Jesus Christ and help them grow in their faith.
Description
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 attend football practices in the Minneapolis suburbs, mingle with teenagers at a mall in Stockholm and play pick-up soccer with former child-soldiers in Liberia. 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.
This is the first step of a lifelong journey; the choices they make today, based upon God’s love for them, will impact future decisions ... careers chosen, marriages formed and families raised. All ripples from the time when a Young Life leader reached out and entered their world.
