Two months later & they’re still talking about it.

Summer camp is more than a week away from home. It’s a place where our high school friends experience adventure, grow deeper in relationships, and hear about a God who loves them right where they are.

This is why we do what we do.

When you purchase a ticket to Boots & BBQ, you’re helping make moments like these possible for kids right here in Jackson County.

Join us September 13th and help us keep showing up for the next kid!

Grab your tickets and come be part of it! 🔗: https://onecau.se/jcylboots

What a way to kick off the semester! 🍦🙌

We loved getting students from across Jackson County together for a night of ice cream, games, friends, and a whole lot of fun. We’re so thankful for every student who showed up and every leader who continues to show up for kids. Thank you to our friends, Street Treats of Victoria for making the trip over to Jackson County and serving us so well 🫶

And we’re just getting started! 👏 Stay tuned for more Young Life this fall!

🍽️ Help us feed our Young Life leaders this fall!

Before Club, our volunteer leaders gather to eat, pray, and prepare to welcome our high school friends — and we’d love our community to help fill the table!

Churches, small groups, families, businesses, or friends can provide dinner for one of our 7 Monday Club nights.

👉 Pick a Monday and sign up today! Grab a date for your family, church, small group, or business and help us get every Club night covered this fall!

A few first-day faces + a whole lot of donuts 🍩📚

The school year may already be a couple weeks in, but we couldn’t let these moments go unshared! Our JCYL leaders have loved getting to welcome students back, hand out donuts, and spend a little time on campus with our high school friends.

Because Young Life is about more than what happens at Club. It’s about showing up, knowing kids by name, and meeting them right where they are.

We’re thankful for our schools, our leaders who keep showing up, and all the students who make Jackson County Young Life what it is. Here’s to a great year ahead! 🎉

Summer gave us a LOT to celebrate, and we’re just getting started! 💚

Our August Ministry Update is out with a look back at an incredible week at Crooked Creek Ranch, the impact of our community’s support this summer, and everything coming up as Young Life kicks off another school year in Jackson County. Plus, Boots & BBQ is right around the corner!

Catch up, mark your calendars, and see how you can be part of the mission this fall!

Summer has been full of meaningful moments for Jackson County Young Life! From taking 16 local high school students to the mountains of Colorado for a week at Young Life Summer Camp, to seeing our community rally around our BBQ Pork Chop Plate Fundraiser, we have had so much to celebrate.
