What is YoungLives?

Founded in 1991, YoungLives exists for expectant and parenting adolescents to grow in faith, grow in life, and grow in leadership. We believe in walking alongside teen parents who will shape their families and communities with courage, love, and vision.

Teen parents are often navigating some of the biggest questions in life, identity, belonging, faith and future, all while caring for a child. At YoungLives we step into that story not with easy answers, but with presence.

YoungLives is present in 33 countries and counting, walking alongside teen parents with a globally adaptable model grounded in three priorities: proactive relationships, practical support, and purposeful hope.

Through monthly gatherings, special events, and consistent connection, YoungLives works to provide community and support for teens as they navigate life, discover possibilities, and grow into the people they were created to be.
