Young Life has been involved in Costa Rica for over 25 years and now serves in 12 areas.  We have more than 140 volunteers involved in the ministry, loving on kids each and every week.
 
Young Life Costa Rica began in 1981 when two adult Costa Ricans desiring to reach youth with the Gospel of Christ met a Young Life missionary.  The missionary was at a conference sharing about how to reach youth.  The vision he shared to present the message of Christ and help youth grow in their faith was a match, and the adventure of Young Life in Costa Rica began. 

 

The first club began in Lourdes, Montes de Oca, in San José. It was a huge success!  The club began to grow and two years later the first ever Young Life Costa Rica camp occurred.  Currently we serve kids through community based outreach, international schools Young Life, international schools Wlyd Life, Capernaum and camping.  Please visit www.vidajovencr.org

 

In addition, we offer work team programs for groups from the US and a summer intern experience.  For more information, email tait@intl.younglife.org
