Why do you Young Life leaders have such a positive effect on their high school and middle school friends.  They love life and they love people.  Not enough people in this world really do that.  Today most of us are living vicariously through reality TV.  It is refreshing to know someone who lives life to the fullest.  That is what Young Life leaders strive to do.  In an ever-changing world, kids are looking for hope, purpose and real life.  Volunteer leaders spend time with kids hoping to build friendships, provide guidance and show them the kind of real life only God can offer.
