Young Life is our high school program that reaches kids through amazing programs such a Club (a party with a purpose), Campaigners (Small groups), Contact work (going to where kids are to build relationships), and Camp (literally, the best week of your life).
In everything that we do, our aim is to build relationships and break down walls as we seek to communicate the gospel and form a healthy community.
Wyldlife is our middle school program focused on kids grades 6-8. It operates just like Young Life, but geared towards middle schoolers. Wyldlife also includes Club, Campaigners, Contact work, and Camps. It is, actually, WILD.
The heart of what we do is to build relationships with students as we walk with them. We recognize that the middle school years are formative in the lives of kids and desire help them build a solid foundation on which to grow as the enter high school.
In a town in Texas, at the request of his pastor, a young associate pastor named Jim Rayburn began showing young people how much God cares about them by showing up in their world and sharing the message of God's love through Jesus in ways and words they could understand and relate to.
Today, Young Life is a global organization with local focus. You'll find Young Life leaders from diverse cultures, nationalities and backgrounds in over 100 countries around the world.
Whether it's in cities or villages, towns or tower blocks, in countries on every continent, Young Life leaders are working with over two million young people, right in their own neighborhoods.
Since 1941, Young Life leaders have walked with kids and earned the right to be heard in an exhausting and exciting world. In 2018, 348,000 kids were involved every week all around the world.
