College Young Life




Starting college is starting a new chapter in your life.  College is the time to explore what you really enjoy, do what you thought was never possible, and expand your knowledge to incredible depths.  There are so many activities on campus to be involved in; athletics, clubs, Greek society; but how do you know where you will fit in best?  One organization that is known worldwide is Young Life.  

Young Life develops a community filled with caring people, smiling faces, and lifelong friendships.  There are leaders that welcome new people each and every day, eager to get to know them and tell them about themselves.  Outsiders to the community look upon this group of people and ask themselves, “what about these people make them so different”?  The answer is easy: love.  Not just any type of love, but the best kind you will ever find.  The love that bonds this community and makes it so close is a love from up above that fills their heart, soul, and mind.  The purpose of Young Life is simple- to share truth to younger kids in hopes to better their future. 


This organization was founded in 1961 and has since been reaching out to students across the nation.  Young adults volunteer their time to delve into a younger community such as a high school or middle school and immerse themselves into that community.  Numerous hours are spent by these leaders getting to know the kids and sharing the most important thing they have ever been taught.  Young Life isn’t an organization telling people that they are a bad person if they sin or saying that there is no hop
e for you if you do not love Jesus.  No, this is an organization enlightening those who have either never heard the truth, or who have and have simply disregarded it, encouraging them to see what they have seen in the light of the Lord.

My encouragement to you is to explore this community.  See what they are all about because it just might change your whole life.  I know it has changed mine.

  1. This sounds like a really cool club or group, not sure how to describe it.. How come I haven't heard of this group more since I've been here at UK? It seems like this group is not as supported as the other religious groups but I think it should be!
