Children’s lives are dramatically impacted when caring adults come alongside them, sharing God’s love with them. Because their leader believes in them, they begin to see that their lives have great worth, meaning, and purpose. Through relationships, regular outreach events, Bible studies and summer camps, Young Life has been reaching students in North Whatcom County since 1943. Young Life currently has a ministry presence in seven school districts as well as a ministry for teen moms (Younglives) and children with special needs (Capernaum).
