What is Young Life?

Young Life started in 1941 in Texas and has grown into an international, non-denominational, Christian, non-profit youth organization active in all 50 states and over 100 countries. ​ Young Life's presence in Ventura began over 30 years and currently reaches out to kids at the high schools, middle school students through WyldLife, and connects with kids with disabilities through Capernaum. ​
Young Life is volunteer driven with only two paid staff people in the Ventura area. ​ Our leaders tirelessly work to support and walk alongside students and our committee ensures Young Life is in Ventura for the long haul! ​ If you're interested in getting involved, click below!
