Reaching a World of Kids

For more than 70 years Young Life has been reaching out to junior high and high school kids around the world.  Annually, Young Life impacts over 1,000,000 teenagers making it the largest ministry to adolescents in the world.  Our hope is to double our annual impact to 2,000,000 kids over the next 6 years.  To accomplish this goal we intend to devlop volunteers, start and sustain new ministries with an emphasis on "hard to reach, hard to fund" areas, and invest in our camping program.  We are committed to every kid, convinced that all kids are valuable and deserve to experience the love of Jesus Christ in the context of caring and trustworthy adult friendships.  Young Life began in Toledo in 1967 and continues to be a life-changing environment for hundreds of kids in and around the city.   Our professional staff, dedicated volunteers, and generous donors represent a team committed to introducing kids to Jesus Christ and helping them grow in their faith.

Where We Are and Where We're Going

Starting and sustaining Young Life requries a committed group of community members who care about kids.  If you would like to talk to a Young Life staff person about starting Young Life in your community please contact us.
