In 2020, prayer and the question "what does it take to start Young Life in a pandemic?" led to a team of adults in Sandersville that were committed to doing whatever it takes to bring Young Life to teenagers at Brentwood and Washington County High School. Since then, Young Life officially hit the ground running at Brentwood in 2021 and Waco in 2022.
Today, Young Life is a global organization with local focus. You'll find Young Life leaders from diverse cultures, nationalities and backgrounds in over 100 countries around the world. These adults are currently reaching over 2,000,000 young people around the world!
Since 2021, more that 250 teens from Brentwood and Waco have come to a Young Life Club, Bible Study, Camp, Young Life Event, or is known by a Young Life Leader.
Since 1941, Young Life leaders have walked with kids and earned the right to be heard in an exhausting and exciting world. In 2018, 348,000 kids were involved every week all around the world.
"Living a life for Jesus is never easy as a high schooler. Young Life has not only changed my everyday life, but also my walk with the Lord. Being in such a welcoming environment has given me many opportunities to help others, along with myself, follow the Lord"
