Faith-Based Social and Recreational Services
Services for Youth and Social / Recreational
Provided by Young Life
Young Life provides a safe environment where students can participate in fun activities, learn to make wise decisions, be themselves, and build healthy, lifelong friendships.
Young Life communities strive to create meaningful, mentoring relationships between leaders and teens (grade 7-12) and to create spaces where teens are listened to, and where questions of life and faith can be discussed. Groups run weekly and are open to people of all faiths/beliefs.
Club: is the name of the regular meetings hosted by Young Life volunteer leaders and staff for their teen-aged friends. It is launched by the relationships they have built through contact work. These meetings are attended by teens from junior and senior high schools and include music, humour and a talk about the Christian faith.
Campaigners: is the name given to weekly small-group meetings for student leaders, who are also called campaigners. This meeting, often early before school, is an opportunity to gather with a smaller group of friends, grow in faith and discuss leadership of the local Young Life club.
Camps: are a highlight for teens and focus on what matters most to them – fun, adventure, friendship and a sense of significance.
Skatelife: is a division of Young Life that demonstrates our true devotion to meeting teenagers where they’re at, and is “committed to skaters on their turf,” whether that’s at skate parks, shops, or elsewhere. Skatelife workers immerse themselves in the “skate scene” and seek to build a healthy community through individual relationships. Skatelife also hosts cutting-edge leadership conferences, as well as weekly clubs, summer “Road Rage” camps, and tours.
Capernaum: Provides young people with intellectual and developmental disabilities the chance to experience fun and adventure, to develop fulfilling friendships and to challenge their limits while building self-esteem through club, camp and other exciting activities.
