YoungLives Works
The word is out! When YoungLives comes alongside teen moms, the impact is significant. This has led to a recent surge of growth. In 2006, YoungLives was
present in 55 communities. By 2013 that number exploded to 236. Many
communities across the U.S. and around the world hope to start YoungLives locally.
Club
YoungLives
club provides a safe place for teen moms to come together to build
friendships. Food, activities, music and childcare make club a fun place
to hear about God’s love. Other YoungLives activities may include Bible study, group outings and life skills education.
Camp
YoungLives camp
is an extraordinary place! Mentors accompany teen moms and their babies
to camp for a respite from the chaos of their daily struggles. Here,
with their physical and childcare needs met, teen moms are immersed in
the love God and can focus on their future.
Discipleship
Discipleship addresses the second half of our mission statement: “helping teen moms to grown in their faith.” YoungLives
uses mentoring, Bible study, and a variety of other discipleship
methods to instill in teen moms core values about herself, her child,
her relationships and her world.

Vision
More
than 20 years ago, Young Life answered God’s call to run headfirst into
the chaos of teenage motherhood with the hope of Jesus….and YoungLives was born. In 2013, YoungLives
reached more than 10,000 teen moms and their children. Our vision is to
DOUBLE the impact and serve 20,000 families a year by 2016.
