Our Approach

Young Life is built on genuine and unconditional relationships. Leaders accept kids as they are, spend time with them and listen to them.  Leaders enjoy genuine, lasting friendships with all kids regardless of their background, appearance, or beliefs. This relational approach provides kids with caring adult role models who can offer guidance and support for teenagers.

Young Life strives for excellence because we believe every kid deserves to be valued and treated with respect. So, from our sincere friendships with kids to our innovative and adventurous programming, we go the extra mile!

The C's of Young Life and WyldLife

Contact Work
Daring to enter the world of adolescents, leaders meet kids on their "turf" at sporting events, school activities, fast food restaurants and malls.  By going to where kids are, leaders build genuine relationships with kids, one by one earning the right to be heard.
 
Club
Described as controlled chaos typically meets once a week.  Leaders combine music, humor and group interaction to create an hour of energetic fun where kids can express that teenage tendency to push the limits - but in a safe environment.  At the end of each club, a leader discusses how God and Jesus may fit into the complexities and issues of kids' lives.
 
Camp
At any of Young Life's 24 premier properties across North America, kids get out of their regular environments, discover adventure and prove their prowess by climbing through a ropes course in the tops of trees, barreling down a water slide, riding horseback along scenic trails, water skiing, parasailing, racing go-carts and doing other exciting activities.  Camp combines high-impact, high-energy fun with the message of Jesus and allows each kid to consider the direction of his or her life.  Each year kids experience what is promised as the greatest week of their lives!
 
Campaigners/"Cabin Time"
Asking real questions about God and Jesus.  During this weekly Bible study, kids can ask questions and hear honest answers about their struggles, their faith and their relationship with God.
 
Committee
A local group of adults committed to actively supporting Young Life in a variety of ways. Through prayer and public relations as well as caring for leaders, fundraising, and coordinating special events, the committee works with staff to direct Young Life in Greenwich.
