    Young Life leaders believe in the next generation. They invest in teens in their community through friendship, mentorship & discipleship.

  • Community

    We weren’t designed to do life alone. We’re building a community of students who are growing together, serving together & becoming leaders at their school.

  • New Experiences

    Young Life owns & operates properties all over the country designed to inspire awe, create core memories, and provide opportunities for students to deepen their faith.
