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.
