In our local YL area, there are nearly 80 volunteer leaders doing work in six schools.  These folks have a passion for Jesus and a passion to love kids.  Their goal is simply to enter into the world of teenagers, on thier turf, to build a friendship...a bridge of trust.  They want to earn the right to be heard and a chance to help kids consider the claims of Jesus.

You might find YL Leaders in a school lunchroom, volunteer coaching, in the parking lot after school, or watching football practice or games on Friday nights.  The method is not spectacular or flashy, but it is effective.  It is to simply SHOW UP.  We find that if you consistently show up in the world of kids they will respond. 

You may also find YL Leaders huddled together on Friday mornings at the YL office praying through school yearbooks.  Asking God to change the lives of kids.  Prayer is our primary strategy for reaching kids with the message of Jesus Christ.

We want to ask you to get involved and join us in this mission to go after kids who are deserately searching for life; who are desperately searching for what is real and true.  We believe that everything they are looking for is found in Jesus.  We need people to commit to praying, folks to join the YL Committee (Board of Directors), to financially support YL.  YL in East Alabama raises 100% of its funding from people, businesses, and churches right here in the local area.  We need you.  Partner with us.
