Donors are vital to Young Life at the local area and regional levels. Because Young Life areas are financially supported solely at the local level, donors’ financial gifts account for all of an area's budget and part of a region's budget. Your donation helps areas hire and train staff and provide essential administrative support to the area. Your contributions also support operating expenses such as salaries and other ministry costs and can help send kids to Young Life camps.

Our vision will always be to serve as a lifeline for kids, one kid at a time.  To accomplish this goal, we are seeking to expand our ministry into new schools and communities, and to reach further into the pre-teen culture. Over the last thirty-seven years, Gainesville / Hall County Young Life has expanded into four high schools, but that is not enough.  We are working to develop a strong network of leaders and committee members who will serve specific communities within the county.  With a strong support team of adults focused on these areas we can continue the Young Life legacy in our community.  Over the next five years our goal is to expand into two additional high schools.  We have a strategy to get there; we know that all kids are "too important to ignore."

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.
