Young Life is a Christian ministry that reaches out to middle school, high school, and college students in all 50 of the United States and in more than 100 countries around the world. FIND YOUNG LIFE NEAR ME Our Mission is to introduce adolescents to Jesus Christ and help them grow in their faith. We accomplish our mission by... Praying for young people. Going where kids are and building personal relationships with them. Earning the right to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Providing fun, adventurous, life-changing and skill-building experiences. Inviting kids to personally respond to the Good News and walking in friendship with them regardless of their response. Working in community alongside like-minded adults (volunteer leaders, committee members, donors and staff). Since 1941, we have put caring adults into the lives of kids. We have walked into their world as mentors and friends. Our Values The Gospel Living according to and communicating the whole gospel of Jesus Christ. Diversity Welcoming those whom God calls to our mission — men and women of all ethnicities and abilities who are committed to the common purpose of introducing adolescents to Jesus Christ and helping them grow in their faith. Scripture Acting under the authority of Scripture and relying on the Holy Spirit to empower our ministry. Ecumenical Collaborating with followers of Christ from various traditions and local churches worldwide. All Kids Reaching adolescents of every ability and all economic, cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Health Encouraging our staff and volunteers in their personal and spiritual health so we may minister out of a consistent and growing relationship with Christ and His followers. Stewardship Observing the highest standards of stewardship of all the resources placed in our trust. The Next Kid Developing innovative approaches to reach uncommitted, disinterested young people around the world. Time, patience, trust and consistency. 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.
