 | Who exactly qualifies as a Young Life "Alumni"?
If you've ever been involved with Young Life — went to camp, attended club, been a volunteer leader, committee member or donor — you are an alumnus!
|
| How has Young Life changed since I was involved as a kid?
Young Life remains committed to the same principles and mission upon which it was founded: "Introducing adolescents to Jesus Christ and helping them grow in their faith." A week at Young Life camp is still the adventure of a lifetime. Club remains an experiment in "controlled chaos" that makes kids of all ages laugh. And Young Life leaders continue their commitment to sharing their lives and their faith with their teenage friends. We’ve expanded our outreach and are now involved with middle school kids, kids with disabilities, teen moms and more. |
| Where can I find a Young Life club for my kids or for kids I know?
We'd love to meet your kids and share the Young Life experience with them. Use our Locator to find the nearest club or area office. |
| Who should I contact to start a Young Life club in my area?
Alumni are one of our greatest assets in getting Young Life started in a new school or community. Use the Locator to locate the nearest office, and they’ll direct you to the right place. Or, call the Young Life Service Center toll-free at (877) 438-9572. |
| Is there a way to contact people I knew in Young Life years ago?
Yes! The searchable Young Life Alumni Database is a great way to get in touch with other alumni. Please enter your contact information so that others can search for you as well! |
| How can I be involved in Young Life as an adult?
Young Life offers a number of venues for you to continue your involvement. Consider joining your local Young Life adult committee or becoming a donor. Or, how about revisiting camp as an adult guest or with your entire family at family camp? You have plenty of opportunities! |
| Are there communication resources for adults who used to be involved in Young Life?
Yes! You can sign up for the Alumni quarterly eNewsletter. It will keep you updated on alumni events, stories and other information of interest. |
| Are there adult retreats or other opportunities for Young Life alumni to get together?
From time to time local areas, regions of the country and camps host reunion events. You’ll receive information about these events when you sign up for the eNewsletter. You can also check the Events page for current information. |
| I just graduated from high school and want to stay involved. What should I do?
Congratulations on graduating from high school, but we hope you aren't finished with Young Life quite yet! There are plenty of exciting opportunities for involvement in college. Visit the Young Life College section, download the College Catalog or access the Locator to find out more information about Young Life on or near your college campus. |
| I just graduated from college and want to stay involved. What should I do?
You can still be actively involved with Young Life! We need volunteers of all ages — not just college kids. As the pace of your life changes, we know your involvement will look different, but we’ll adapt and change with you.
