What is Young Life?
CONTACT WORK- Caring for Kids. Because kids don’t care how much you know till they know how much you care, Young Life leaders show they care by going where kids are, meeting them as they are, believing in who they can be.
CLUB- A Party with a Purpose. It’s controlled chaos that’s almost impossible to describe, but kids know it when they see it. And before the party ends, we share a simple message about God’s love for them. After all, that’s what the celebration is all about.
CAMP- The Best Week of Their Life. A week where deep relationships are forged in the midst of mind-boggling fun and where you experience and listen to what we believe is the greatest love story ever told?
CAMPAIGNERS- A time to question, learn and grow for kids who want to have a relationship with Jesus. Along the way, we encourage kids to celebrate their faith through participation in a local congregation.
