Young Life Boston Southwest is active in King Philip, Newton North, Norwood and Walpole high schools and various middle schools in the area. Young Life is making a difference in kids' lives. Here's an example of how we're reaching kids: Wes regularly attends football practice at the high school where he is a Young Life leader and assistant football coach. At first, Wes didn't know the young men on the football team, but after just a few weeks of coaching he got to know every player on the team. Within a few months, Wes got to the point where each time he entered the high school, he was greeted by several kids - not just football players - who would yell, "Coach Wes" and run to greet him. By taking a genuine interest in student's lives, Wes became one of the most popular "kids" on campus!
