Young Life

Description

Young Lifeis a 501(c)3 nonprofit, international & interdenominational mission community of Christ-centered adult volunteers and staff who believe that teenagers are great and that every adolescent should have the opportunity to hear about Jesus in terms they can relate to and respond to. Therefore we GO wherever kids are to build relationships, to walk alongside them through the often turbulent years of adolescence and to share the Gospel with them. This is done through the distinctive, age appropriate and proven techniques of Contact Work, Club, Camp and Campaigners all with the financial, administrative and prayer support of a Committee of adults representing the local community (churches, schools, businesses, parents). By providing mentoring relationships we offer adolescents the opportunity to develop character traits, leadership skills and an attitude of service while allowing them to have fun and experience life to the fullest.

We want every adolescent, regardless of sex, ethnicity, culture, socioeconomic status or religious background to experience the love of Christ through their encounter with Young Life.
