Southwest Missouri Young Life A not-for-profit Christian outreach to high school students. Youth culture has changed dramatically in the last six decades.

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. Kids’ lives revolved around their school; the first Young Life leaders realized that to reach kids who had no interest in organized religion they would have to understand and be present in that world. Kids enter adolescence earlier and make the transition to adulthood later. And the high school experience is both changing and varied across the country and around the world. But, the high school years are still a time when most teenagers make important life choices, including what they believe about God. And so Young Life is there 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.

Our Party for a Purpose Luncheon was magical! Thank you to all those who came out and attended. Thank you to everyone who shared their wonderful stories. The room was full of very special people. People who have given many years of their life to this wonderful organization. We can’t believe that we are still able to meet kids where they are, and help them in their faith of loving Jesus after 30 years. If you missed the event, and would still like to donate, please use the link in our bio. See you next year!
