YoungLives relies on the generosity of volunteers and donors to walk alongside teen moms, teen dads, and their children.

Each week, our staff and volunteers visit local high schools to tutor teen parents and teach parenting classes. Once a month, we host Club, a welcoming space where teen parents and their children share a meal, enjoy activities and music, and receive encouragement from caring mentors. Clubs take place in Westminster and Santa Ana for families in the surrounding communities.

Throughout the year, we create special experiences just for these young families. Christmas Club includes festive food, fun activities, and a shopping experience for parents to pick gifts for themselves and their babies. In the spring, we host YoungLives Prom, complete with childcare, treats, and live entertainment so teen moms and dads can enjoy a night designed just for them.

In both summer and winter, teen moms, dads, and their babies attend camp, a life-changing experience many describe as the best week of their lives.

All of this takes hands, hearts, and generous support. Your gift to YoungLives is an investment in young families today and a brighter future for the next generation.
