Young Life is active in Marysville and Arlington high school. Young Life is making a difference in kids' lives. Here's an example of how Young Life is reaching kids: John regularly attends basketball practice at the high school where he is a Young Life leader. At first, John did not know the young men on the basketball team, but after weeks of watching practice he began to get to know who they were and exchanged a few short conversations with some of the players. One day, one of the players approached John. "You come to watch us practice a lot don't you?" the young man asked John. "Yes, I do," John said. "That's cool," the young man said. "No one does that."
As young Life leaders we spend countless hours getting to know kids in our community. And we do this by simply going to where the kids are. We believe that you have to earn the right to be heard. The foundation of our mission is building life long relationships with kids in our community and thru those realationships we are able to share to gospel with them.
