What is it about Young Life Club that makes it the best night of a high school kid's week? We like to say it's a party with a purpose. It's controlled chaos that is almost impossible to describe, but kids know it when they see it and they love it. Before the party ends we share the message of God's love for them in terms they can understand and apply.
Campaigners is a weekly meeting for kids who want to learn more and grow in their faith through reading their Bible with their Young Life leader. Young Life leaders also encourage these kids to become a part of a local church.
Kids don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. Young Life leaders show they care by being where kids are, meeting them as they are and believing in who they can be. In Young Life we call the persistent pursuit of kids "contact work," but kids just call it friendship.
Kids consistently tell us Young Life camp is the best week of their lives. Our high school friends get to spend a week at one of our resort-style camps away from their phones and the distractions of home. They hear the good news of Jesus in terms they can understand alongside their best friends and Young Life Leaders.
Our volunteer leaders receive 10 weeks of training as well as undergo background checks.
Our local adult committee does all the behind the scenes work to fuel the ministry of Young Life.
