"Our
young people today are waiting for somebody to care about them enough
to take the time and trouble to pour out compassion on them, to
prove their friendship, to bridge this tragic and terrible gap that
exists in our culture between teenagers and adults..."
-Jim Rayburn, Young Life Founder |

| "Young Life" is the name of our organization,
and it's also what we call our outreach to high school-aged kids.
We have named our middle school and junior high ministry "Wyldlife"
to differentiate between the two age groups and their varying developmental
stages and maturity levels. Both ministries stay true to the time-tested
practices we've been using for more than 60 years: going where kids
are, loving them unconditionally, earning the right to be heard and
communicating God's love in terms kids can understand |

Young Life leaders care about kids. Since ministry began
in 1940, Young Life leaders have cared enough about kids to leave
the comfort of their adult worlds and enter the adolescent world.
You will find Young Life leaders in the stands at football games,
playing frisbee with kids in the park, driving carloads of kids around
town or tutoring students after school. In fact, you will find them
almost anywhere you can find kids. Young Life leaders strive to build
friendships with adolescents that model trust, respect, responsibility--and
work hard at finding ways to communicate their unconditional care
in ways kids can understand. |

| Young Life provides healthy, creative fun. From weekly clubs to
seasonal camping experiences to hanging out with leaders, Young Life
is known around the world as the organization that knows how to have
culturally relevant fun. |
 |
| Club typically meets once a week and has been described as an experience
in "controlled chaos." Leaders combine songs, humor, games,
and skits to create an hour of energetic fun where teenagers can express
their tendency to push the limits (all within a safe environment). |
