Who We Are

WHAT IS YOUNG LIFE?​

YOUNG LIFE DOESN'T START WITH A PROGRAM. IT STARTS WITH AN ADULT WHO IS 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. WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PRESENCE. KIDS 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. WE BELIEVE IN LOVING KIDS REGARDLESS OF THEIR RESPONSE.
