Young Life is active in various high schools and middle schools in the Greater Spokane Area. Young Life is making a difference in kids' lives. Here's an example of how Young Life is reaching kids: Jake regularly attends basketball practice at the high school where he is a Young Life leader. At first, Jake did not know the young men on the basketball team, but after weeks of watching practice he began to get to know who they were and exchanged a few short conversations with some of the players. One day, one of the players approached Jake. "You come to watch us practice a lot don't you?" the young man asked Jake. "Yes, I do," Jake said. "That's cool," the young man said. "No one does that."
