We are a team of mentors committed to walking through life with teens moms & introducing them to Jesus. |
8 years ago, Young Life in Champaign answered God’s call to run headfirst into the chaos of teenage motherhood with the hope of Jesus ... and YoungLives was born in our community. YoungLives is an international arm of the ministry of Young Life, with chapters serving teen moms across the globe, including our backyard in Champaign County.
YoungLives has never wavered from the original vision to reach teen moms by entering their world, modeling the unconditional love of Christ, and encouraging them to become the women and mothers God created them to be. Through Young Life’s time-tested methods and life-on-life mentoring, teen moms are empowered to make positive choices, set and achieve goals, and live a future rooted in Christ. |
Our method is relationships.
MENTORSHIP
Our team of mentors is committed to stepping into the lives of the teen moms we serve. This means seeing them outside of weekly meetings, loving them holistically, & walking through daily life with them. CLUB
Our primary programming is an every-other-week meeting called "Club". Club includes dinner, childcare, games, giveaways, the teaching of life skills, fun together, and at the end, a message about how Jesus palpably changes lives. |
CAMPAIGNERS
On alternating weeks from club, we hold a Bible study called "Campaigners". This is time for teens mom to come without their children to dive deeper in the Bible with their mentors. CAMP
Every summer, we have the opportunity to take YoungLives moms & their children to one of Young Life's 24 resort-quality camps. At camp, moms experience the best week of their lives, while encountering Christ. |
