Donors are vital to Young Life at the local area and regional levels. Because Young Life areas are financially supported solely at the local level, donors’ financial gifts account for all of an area's budget and part of a region's budget. Your donation helps areas hire and train staff and provide essential administrative support to the area. Your contributions also support operating expenses such as salaries and other ministry costs and can help send kids to Young Life camps.

We are committed to introducing adolescents to Jesus Christ and helping them grown in their faith. Young Life also aims to establish and maintain a presence at all high schools and middle schools in the local area.  Our vision is huge "EVERY KID, EVERYWHERE, FOR ETERNITY", which means not only the mainstream kids, but the teen moms, and kids with disabilities.  With the proper funds we will be able to put gifted people in places where we can start ministries like Young LIVES (outreach to teen moms) or Young Life's Capernaum Project (outreach to kids with disabilities).  If you want to support what we are doing there are a few different ways to do that.  Click the link to the right (Our area number is CA 73) or you can fill out the electronic funds transfer that will automatically take funds out of your checking account or from your credit card each month.  Your life may not give you the flexibility to go onto a high school, or junior high school campus and build relationships with unchurched kids but your resources will help those that are already there be more effective.  Thanks so much for considering a partnership with us in Chico.

We believe that in order to reach kids we must go where they go and enter their world. Every week in our local area, Young Life staff and volunteers can be found at school events and practices and at kids' favorite hangouts. In many cases, they are the only adult friends kids have in their lives. Our work could not be done without your support. We are grateful for your gift to Young Life. Thank you for all you do to help us reach generations of kids who desperately need to hear a message of hope.  Thanks to these fine businesses for supporting Young Life Sorella, Silver Sandbox, Team Sports, InterWest Insurance, Crush, Culp and Tanner, Matson and Isom, and Bidwell Presbyterian Church.
