Young Life has been established in Northwest Atlanta for close to 60 years and has a rich history in this community. We are currently in 7 high schools and 6 middle schools, with others on the horizon.
Young Life doesn't start with a program; it starts with a group of adults who are interested in investing in kids’ lives in order to introduce them to Jesus Christ and help them grown in their faith.
Young Life began in Texas in the 1940's, seven decades and fifty states later, its methods remain the same - leaders reaching out and showing up where kids are, whether that be the high school basketball game or going for ice cream after school; weekly club meetings, sometimes called a "party with a purpose" or "controlled chaos" with a message from a leader to finish the night; campaigner groups, a time for students to dive deeper into the word with their leader in a small group setting; and camp, a weekend or week long trip to one of Young Life's five star properties where students will have the best week of their life. All of these things come together to allow students and adult leaders to build lifelong relationships with Christ at the center, and have a lot of fun along the way!
