Young Life began in the early 1940s in response to an emerging adolescent subculture, the center of which was the world of the high school.
Young Life leaders are in the world of high school — learning kids’ names, hearing their stories, having fun and sharing with them the great news of a God who loves them.
In WyldLife, we love middle school kids! They are full of life and yet experiencing profound emotional and physical changes.
Middle school is a time when kids make important decisions about who they are and what they believe. And so WyldLife leaders seek to model and express God's love to our young friends by learning their names, hearing their stories and honoring their God-given desire for a life of fun, adventure and purpose.
“I went to Young Life College and instantly felt like I belonged. I joined a small group and tried to completely immerse myself in this community of amazing people. Little did I know how life-changing this would be.”
– Max, Student from Northern Arizona University
