YOUNG LIFE Young Life is the name of our organization, and it's also what we call our outreach to high school-aged kids. We have named our middle school and junior high ministry 'Wyldlife' to differentiate between the two age groups and their varying developmental stages and maturity levels. Both ministries stay true to the time-tested practices we've been using for more than 60 years: going where kids are, loving them unconditionally, earning the right to be heard and communicating God's love in terms kids can understand.
