Who We Are

1941 

YOUNG LIFE BEGINS IN THE USA

In a town in Texas, at the request of his pastor, a young associate pastor named Jim Rayburn began showing young people 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. 

100+ COUNTRIES WITH YOUNG LIFE STAFF AND LEADERS

Today, Young Life is a global organization with local focus. You'll find Young Life leaders from diverse cultures, nationalities and backgrounds in over 100 countries around the world.  

Whether it's in cities or villages, towns or tower blocks, in countries on every continent, Young Life leaders are working with over two million young people, right in their own neighborhoods. 

348,000 KIDS INVOLVED WEEKLY

Since 1941, Young Life leaders have walked with kids and earned the right to be heard in an exhausting and exciting world. In 2018, 348,000 kids were involved every week all around the world.

In Miami, we currently have 2 staff members and 17 volunteers!

We have weekly meetings for both high school and middle school students, with official clubs at Westminster Christian and True North. All local students are welcome to join events, and our desire is to expand to many more middle and high schools in the greater Miami area
