Young Life Memphis

For 65 years, Young Life has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to kids nationally and right here in Memphis.  The first Young Life staff person came to Memphis in 1941 and started our first Young Life Club at Central High School.  Young Life continues today in more than twenty-five Memphis area schools.  Young Life leaders in the Greater Memphis area are investing time with teenagers to build lasting friendships and help them consider the direction of their lives. We want to give every kid a chance to hear about Jesus and to know Him.
