IMPACTING INDIVIDUALS, COMMUNITIES, AND NATIONS
Since 2009 Young Life’s Developing Global Leaders program has awarded nearly 1500 full-ride college scholarships to high-potential young adults in over 60 developing countries.
Since inception, DGL students have recruited and trained over 25,000 volunteers who have reached approximately 750,000 kids worldwide.
Most students in the program are the first in their family to attend college
One-half of DGL participants are women – a compelling opportunity for women in developing countries where they are often denied access to education.
After graduation, these leaders embark on professional careers in a wide variety of fields including medicine, law, education, engineering, finance, business, and social work
33% of DGL graduates continue with Young Life as full-time staff members, some recently advancing to senior level leadership roles
70%+ stay involved in Young Life as volunteers and/or financial supporters
95% stay in country and impact their local communities
Sustainable change happens when in-country leaders with Biblical values are equipped to play strategic roles in business, medicine, government, education, and other professions that powerfully impact the Kingdom of God and can bring hope and creativity to the task of ending the cycle of poverty in the developing world.
