Young Life Leaders are the Core of our Ministry with Kids
Young Life doesn't start with a program. It starts with adults who are concerned enough about kids to go to them, on their turf and in their culture, building bridges of authentic friendship.
These relationships don't happen overnight — they take time, patience, trust and consistency.
So Young Life leaders log many hours with kids
— where they are, as they are. We listen to their stories and learn what's important to them because we genuinely care about their joys, triumphs, heartaches and setbacks.
We believe in the power of presence. Kids' lives are dramatically impacted when caring adults come alongside them, sharing God's love with them.
Because their Young Life leader believes in them, they begin to see that their lives have great worth, meaning and purpose.
This is the first step of a lifelong journey; the choices they make today, based upon God's love for them, will impact future decisions … careers chosen, marriages formed and families raised. All ripples from the time when a Young Life leader took time to reach out and enter their world.

The Young Life committee is the lifeline for Young Life in Auburn. The committee is a group of local adults who care about kids and are committed to Young Life's mission to introduce adolescents to Jesus Christ and help them grow in their faith. Committee is also active in supporting the local
Young Life ministry by fundraising, securing administrative resources and encouraging staff.
Our committee is made up of several sub committees. Committee might be the right fit for you if any of the following service niches/teams are of interest:
Spiritual Development
• prayer, church relationships, fellowship
Leadership Development
• leader/volunteer care, recruiting, teambuilding, training
Area Development
• events & fundraisers, major donor care, public relations, TDS
Ministry Support
• accounting, administrational, data management, strategic planning
