BECOME A LEADER
Leading Young Life is a privilege and takes sacrifice. We have fun together, mentor teenagers, and get a front row seat to see God move. Leaders can be adults with jobs, college students, and/or retired individuals. Do you follow Jesus? Do you want to make a difference in your community? Do you love kids?
If the answer is yes, contact us!
BECOME A YOUNGLIVES MENTOR
YoungLives Mentors do the same things of Young Life Leaders specifically with pregnant and parenting teenagers. Feel called to support and share the Gospel with teen moms?
There are other ways to support the ministry of YoungLives. You can also provide child care or meals during YoungLives events.
Contact us to get more information.
JOIN COMMITTEE
Each Young Life area has a committee. These are adults who believe and support the Young Life vision: to introduce Jesus to young people and help them grow in their faith. The committee will include adults from many different backgrounds, professions, denominations and parents who have a heart for adolescents.
Areas in which you can invest include the prayer team, leader care, networking, logistical support, fundraising, golf tournament team, and banquet team.
Contact us if you are interested.
