Young Life doesn’t start with a program. It 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. These relationships don’t happen overnight— they
take time, patience, trust, and consistency.

Young Life leaders are volunteer mentors who give many
hours to kids — where they are, as they are. Kids’ lives are
dramatically influenced when caring adults come alongside
them to share God’s love with them. We listen to their stories
and learn what’s important to them because we genuinely
care about their joys, triumphs, heartaches, and setbacks.
Because of this, kids 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.
