Hundreds of high school and junior high kids are actively involved in Young Life in the Naperville and Aurora Area.  Through personal relationships, weekly outreach meetings, weekly Bible studies, and an extensie camping program, Young Life staff and volunteer leaders share what it means to know and follow Christ. 

Adolescence proves to be a difficult time for most kids as they make their way from childhood into adulthood.  They are forming their identity, value system, and their self-worth while making decisions that will impact them for the rest of their lives.  They are deciding whether they will be sexually active, whether they will use drugs and alcohol, deciding who they are and who they will become.  The presence of adult role models at this stage of their development is vital.  That is why Young Life staff and volunteer leaders pour themselves into the lives of kids.  They are their to spend time with kids, to listen, to offer advice, and tp serve as role model.
