FAQs for Alumni and Friends

Who exactly qualifies as a Young Life "Alumni"? Edit

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? Edit

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? Edit

Who should I contact to start a Young Life club in my area? Edit

How can I be involved in Young Life as an adult? Edit
