Young Life International in Welwyn Hatfield began nine years ago when a group of adults began meeting weekly to pray for young people and then running youth work with local young people.
Since then, they have developed weekly youth clubs and weekly discussion groups for young people (11-18s) to talk about faith and life skills. Their leaders also volunteer in schools to support, coach, and encourage young people, as well as lead monthly trips for outside fun or sports.
Young Life International, an expression of Young Life, an international corporation founded in the USA in 1941 and present in over 100 countries around the world, is a distinctive outreach to young people who are not involved in the church and who know little of Jesus Christ. For 11 to 14 year olds we are appropriately called WyldLife. For 15 to 18 year olds we are called Young Life and for teenage mums we are called YoungLives.. We believe every young person deserves the right to hear about Jesus in language they understand from an adult who knows and loves them. Over one million teenagers a year world-wide are involved in either WyldLife, Young Life or YoungLives.
