Because Young Life areas are financially supported solely at the local level, donors are vital to Young Life. Without their support, Young Life would not be able to hire and train staff, provide essential administrative support to the area or help send kids to camp.

We are committed to reaching every kid everywhere. Our goal is to establish, maintain, and grow a presence at every middle school and high school in the Mid-Fairfield County area. In order to achieve this goal, funds must be raised to increase staff and leaders, renovate Lake Champion, and ensure programmatic excellence.

We believe that in order to reach kids we must go where they go and enter their world. Every week in our local area, Young Life staff and volunteers can be found at school events and practices and at kids' favorite hangouts. In many cases, they are the only adult friends kids have in their lives. Our work could not be done without your support. We are grateful for your gift to Young Life. Thank you for all you do to help us reach generations of kids who desperately need to hear a message of hope.

“My work in the House Select Committee of Children, Youth and Families brought me in daily contact with the problems and pressures that today’s youth face.  Among all the programs designed to address their problems, Young Life is one of the few that works. I have seen troubled lives turned around and young people gain self-esteem, self-respect, love for one another, and most importantly, love of God.”
