Mission Statement

Every adolescent will have the opportunity to meet Jesus Christ and follow Him. Young Life starts with adults who are concerned enough about kids to go to them, on their turf and in their culture, building bridges of authentic friendship. Young Life leaders log many hours with kids -- where they are, as they are. We believe in the power of presence. Kids' lives are dramatically influenced when caring adults come alongside them, sharing God's love with them. Because their Young Life 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 have an impact on future decisions -- careers chosen, marriages formed and families raised -- all ripples from the time when a Young Life leader took time to reach out and enter their world.

Description

Young Life Greater Mankato is part of a world-class organization dedicated to serving adolescents. Our staff and volunteers enter the world of kids, focusing on what matters to them - fun, adventure, friendship and a sense of significance. We know that kids don’t care what we know till they know how much we care. In Young Life, we call that earning the right to be heard. We go where kids are to build friendships with them and earn the right to make a positive impact in their lives and share the message of God's love for them.
