I have personally watched Young Life change the course of dozens, of lives, and I know of hundreds more that were affected by those same lives. The course of my own life was changed when a Young Life leader befriended me. I went on to become a volunteer leader, to get a degree in Youth Ministry, and to join the staff of Young Life as an Area Director. Kids who were shown the incredible love of God have chosen to live their lives differently as a result, and have brought that change to their families. Kids who didn't think they had a hope, or a future are now young men and women with families and impact on the communities around them, some as Young Life leaders and staff themselves. Even though I am no longer on staff with Young Life, I still work as a volunteer with high school and middle school kids and the perspective and methods I learned in Young Life will stay with me forever.

Younglife reaches out to high school kids with the message of Jesus. Some have never stepped foot inside a church or heard the Good News. I have many friends that received Christ during their time involved in Younglife. Tremendous!

My daughter, now 27 years old,got involved with Young Life when she was a freshman in high school. OUr family was not familiar with Young Life prior to her involvement. As we explored this organization, we found a group of caring adults who befrined kids and help them stay on the right track by 'being there' for them. These volunteer leaders were 'the caring adult' outside the family for my daughter. Subsequently, our son also became involved stayed on a great path through highschool as well. Young Life is like a 'rudder' for kids. Our family has supported this organization since 1996. We have seen many kids make significant changes in their lives as a result of the support they received through Young Life.

Young Life saved and has changed my life. I was first introduced to Young Life in 1997 and have been involved in some capacity ever since: participant, camper, staff and now volunteer. If you're looking for an organization that is TRANSFORMING lives..this is it.
