MY ROLE •
A growing number of Young Life staff members and Catholic youth workers are interested in working together because they want to reach more kids. My role is to connect them, help train them, and gather support for their ministries.
•
There is interest in Oregon in launching a parish-based Young Life ministry for middle schoolers (WyldLife). I’m helping organize this new ministry with the hopes that it will serve as a model for other Catholic parishes.
•
Young Life is a place of belonging, but Catholic staff and volunteers don’t always feel like they belong in a ministry that was started by Protestants. I’m reaching out and supporting our existing Catholic volunteers and staff.
•
Young Life needs to attract and engage more Catholic leadership if it is to serve disconnected Catholic students. I take Catholic adult guests to Young Life camp, and I invite Catholic youth workers to volunteer for Young Life.

Young Life is a charter member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) and has maintained that membership through a yearly review of its compliance with the ECFA’s standards.
Young Life was incorporated in 1941 by Jim Rayburn, a seminary student and part-time youth minister in Gainesville, Texas, who wanted to reach out to kids disinterested in church. Rayburn went where kids were and found creative ways to share the love of God with them. His methods continue to transform lives today.
