Even though Young Life is especially for kids, parents and other adults in the community are important to Young Life. Adults can support Young Life in a variety of ways — by becoming a volunteer leader or committee member, by attending a Young Life fund-raising event, by hosting Young Life or by simply telling others in the community about Young Life and its commitment to kids.
In July we had an Open House Dessert at our new Young Life House on Aradian Ave. 14 male leaders are living there and it is the new "hub" of Young Life in Chico. Many adults showed up to find out more about Young Life and each room was decorated with a different aspect of Young Life. Thank you to the businesses that made the event a success: The Silver Sandbox, Sorella, Matson and Isom, Crush, and Golf Etc. Thanks also to some families that helped pull the event off: The Hord Family, The Leach Family, and The Hoke Family.
An important part of our committment to kids is how we keep kids safe. Our staff and volunteer leaders know they are responsible for modeling lives of hope and integrity.Young Life's Human Resources department has developed missionwide policies and procedures to ensure that kids are protected when they are with Young Life staff and/or leaders as well as when kids are part of Young Life'sponsored activities.
