In Young Life, we have the privilege of extending Jesus Christs love to kids as they are, where they are. For high school and middle school girls who are expecting or are raising a child on their own, that love takes the form of a program called YoungLives. Treating each mom and her child or children with unconditional love and respect, YoungLives offers teen moms relief from the isolation and struggle of their daily lives and hope for the future. YoungLives mentors provide friendship, parenting advice and help meeting the practical demands of raising a child. At YoungLives club and camp, moms get to socialize and have fun while their babies get the best possible care.

 

For the Greater Hillsboro Area we are just in the beginning process of starting a Young Lives club. We are looking for people to partner with us in this ministry. If you are interested in learning more about the Young Lives ministry you can call 602-703-4826 or email jessi_hansen@hotmail.com

 

YoungLives Mentors
YoungLives teams up with mature Christian women to provide teen girls with timely encouragement, guidance and ongoing support. These caring women model Jesus Christs love by investing time and walking alongside them through their life situations.

YoungLives Club and Other Activities

While teen moms are welcome at any Young Life activity, YoungLives is specifically tailored for them. Once a month, YoungLives club provides a place for teen moms to come together to have fun, build friendships and hear a message about real life and Gods love. Food, activities, music and childcare are a part of every club meeting.

 

YoungLives Campaigners
Campaigners (a name that points back to the early days when Young Life was known as The Young Life Campaign) is a weekly meeting for teen moms who wish to learn more or grow in their faith through study, service and leadership. We consistently see kids lives changed in the process as they encounter Jesus Christ. Young Life leaders also encourage these kids to celebrate their faith through participation in a local congregation.

 

YoungLives Camping
Teen moms can attend a YoungLives camp with their children at one of Young Lifes camps. Set in beautiful surroundings and packed with adventure, young moms are given the opportunity to experience all the fun their peers do. From the pool and zip line to the ropes course and the pamper pole, there is no shortage of excitement. During camp, the young women get a break from their everyday schedules thanks to childcare volunteers who look after their children. Teen moms get the chance to relax, play and learn about God and His plan for their lives.
