Teen Parents

Supporting pregnant and parenting teens through mentorship, community, and a life with Christ.

YoungLives​ clubs are regular gatherings with parenting teenagers and mentors with the support of childcare workers and various community help. Clubs meet around the world offering fun, laughter, encouragement and an inspirational message. Other YoungLives​ activities may include Bible study, group outings, life-skill instruction and camp.

Capernaum

Kids with Disabilities

Young Life leaders have the privilege of knowing and sharing their lives with teenagers and young adults with disabilities. While all Young Life activities are open to every high school student, many Young Life areas have dedicated programs for students and young adults with disabilities, typically referred to as Young Life Capernaum.

Young Life Capernaum gives young people with intellectual and developmental disabilities the chance to experience fun and adventure, to develop fulfilling friendships and to challenge their limits while building self-esteem through club, camp, and other exciting activities.

Young Life ONE

Teens on the margins

Young Life ONE is our initiative to reach teens on the margins. The ministry aims to reach students impacted by homelessness, incarceration, the foster care system and/or human trafficking.

Catholic Relations

Catholic Teens

Young Life is for all kids. We see tremendous opportunity working alongside the Catholic Church to reach every kid with the gospel. We train staff and volunteers to minister to Catholic teens, equip Catholics to serve, and work alongside parishes, schools and universities.

Multiethnic Ministry

Multiethnic Ministry

The Multiethnic ministry serves kids of color and under-resourced communities. We want all kids to have a place at the table.

Multiethnic Young Life leaders identify with the community they serve and adapt ministry work to fit the needs of the kids. Multiethnic camp weeks are also a crucial part of this unique Young Life ministry. From small, rural communities to the heart of the inner city, Young Life seeks to bridge the gap and reach this generation with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Young Life Military

U.s. Military Teens

Military teens move an average of seven times during their school-age years. Imagine having to start over at a new school every other year, all while trying to figure out who you are and where you belong. Along with that, imagine the fear for a deployed parent and the heartache of missing your mom and dad when it’s your birthday, Christmas break, or even high school graduation.

Young Life Military-Club Beyond has been ministering to military teens for almost 50 years.

Small Towns

Teens in small towns

Focusing on communities with fewer than 25,000 residents, the Young Life Small Town/Rural Initiative exists to ensure that young people in small towns don’t miss out on the friendship of a caring adult, the fun of going to club every week, the excitement of spending a week at a Young Life camp, or the opportunity to hear about Jesus Christ in terms they can understand from an adult they know and respect.

DGL

Global Leaders

Through sponsorship, Young Life's Developing Global Leaders (DGL)​ Program offers Young Life leaders in the world's poorest developing countries a pathway to a future they never thought possible – the opportunity to attend university in their own country​ and impact their community with the Gospel.
