Information about Young Life
Since 1941, Young Life has been making a difference in the lives of kids around the world because we are invited and supported by adults who care about kids in their community.  That is precisely what is happening in Lexington, Mississippi.  Everyone is welcome!  Our experienced staff and volunteers enter the world of kids, focus on what matters to them - fun, adventure, friendship and a sense of significance.  In doing so, we earn the privilege of talking to them about something that we believe matters most of all -- the truth about God and His love for them.  We are involved with nearly one million kids annually.  This summer, Young Life is offering your high school son or daughter an unsurpassed week long summer retreat in the Appalachian Mountains.  This will be the best week of their life.  Next fall, there will be plenty of fun, adventure and activities - all with a purpose!  It's not just about hanging out.  It's about LIFE.  Young Life -- You Were Made for This!
