In 1967, Young Life began showing young people in Northwest Arkansas how much God cares about them by showing up in their world and sharing the message of God's love through Jesus in ways and words they could understand and relate to.
Today, Young Life is a global organization with local focus. Right here in NWA, there are more than 100 volunteer leaders and staff engaging with kids and learning their stories!
From middle school through college, and from Fayetteville to Bentonville, we have Young Life for all kids ages 12-22! There are even groups that specifically meet with teen moms and adolescents with disabilities. If you want to know more about which groups are meeting in your area, check out the Find Us page!
Since 1941, Young Life leaders have walked with kids and earned the right to be heard in an exhausting and exciting world. This past year, more than 2,500 kids were involved in Young Life here in Northwest Arkansas.
