Our Partnership

Mobilizing Volunteers
Our volunteers develop sincere friendships with teenagers and help provide them weekly events to learn the skills, assets, and attitudes that will help them reach their God-given potential in life.
Making Grants To Fund Programs
Our funding provides direct program support to various Young Life chapters in NYC to cover rent, materials and supplies, field trips, and other enrichment activities for the youth involved.
Training And Consulting
Through our capacity building support, we're working with Young Life staff to re-evaluate their outcomes metrics to effectively measure program impact.
