Mission

YoungLives​ exists for expectant
and parenting adolescents to
grow in faith, grow in life and grow in leadership.

We believe every young person deserves the right to hear the good news of God’s love.

We do this through

  • Going where kids are and building personal relationships with them
  • Providing fun, adventurous, life-changing experiences
  • Working in community alongside like-minded adults (volunteer leaders, committee members, donors and staff)

After 30+ years, YoungLives​​ is helping teen parents around the world grow and thrive in life.
