“A fundamental need of young people…is for a stable, supportive bond with a caring adult…” – Carnegie Council Report

 

The ministry of Young Life depends on volunteer leaders. Jim Rayburn, the founder of Young Life, once said, "Within a mile of every high school, there are enough people to love kids for Christ’s sake if they would just do it.”

 

Young Life leaders care about kids. Since the ministry began in 1941, Young Life leaders have been leaving the comfort of their adult worlds and entering the arena of high school and middle school life. You will find Young Life leaders sitting in the stands at football games, walking the streets of inner-city neighborhoods, driving carloads of kids to the shopping malls or tutoring students in study centers after school.

 

Young Life leaders model trust, respect and responsibility to their young friends, and they do it within a meaningful context, within the context of a teenager's world.
