About Us
Young Life is the organisational name for groups of adults from different communities and backgrounds coming together with the expressed purpose of bettering the lives of teenagers. We help youth discover and develop life skills, equipping them to face challenges with confidence, deal positively with pressure, bounce back from disappointments and adversity, achieve realistic goals and treat themselves and others with respect.
Our weekly clubs are a place of belonging, with it’s fair share of craziness, fun and creativity through games, music and laugh-out-loud moments, but mostly Club is about friendship, and building relationships.
Our Summer Camp is consistently voted as “the best time of teen lives”. That’s because teenagers, take off to a place of welcome, of good food, of games and dancing, of small-group time and of revelation. Many of them return transformed and filled with Hope.
Exploring faith is a big part of what we do to find answers to life’s big questions of “who am I?”, “Why am I here?”, and, “What am I going to do with my life?”
We are a group of Christian adults from a broad diversity of church traditions, committed to the purpose of communicating to young people, in simple and understandable terms, who Jesus Christ is and his relevance to their lives. Our focus is on the disinterested and unchurched young people of our community.
We seek to carry out our mission through the building of personal relationships between Christ-centred adults and young people. As we enter the world of youth we share our lives and common experiences, and Jesus becomes real to them.
In dealing with real people in real situations we look to not only better the person, but also bring justice to unjust situations. Our Humanitarian program, "Young Hope" brings tangible aid, such as food and clothing, and practical support, such as work shops.
By connecting youth with young adults offering positive models in a safe environment as well as meeting physical needs, our team builds resilience for life, faith and hope.
