Harrisonville Young Life

Young Life at Harrisonville High School is part of a world-class organization for adolescents. Our staff and volunteers enter the world of kids, focusing on what matters to them — fun, adventure, friendship and a sense of significance. In doing so, we earn the privilege of talking to them about something that we think matters most of all — the truth about God and His love for us.

- Young Life exists in our community because of adults who invite and support our presence. We call them our committee. No doubt you know some of our committee members and supporters.

- Parents are our partners — we want the best for your kid, too.

- Our leaders and staff want to partner with you in offering something significant to the kids at this school.

- Young Life was founded in 1941 by a pastor who wanted to spend time with kids who were disinterested in church.

- Today, you'll find Young Life in 54 countries and supported by 4,000 staff members, more than 14,000 volunteer leaders and almost 12,000 local committee members.

- Young Life is non-denominational.

- Our leaders are adults who are screened carefully and trained continuously.

- The best way to learn about Young Life is to talk to a parent who was once involved or whose kids have been involved.

- We respect the boundaries of church and state and will abide by school rules.

- Young Life doesn't seek to become a "school-sponsored activity" but is wholly extra-curricular.

- Young Life helps kids make good decisions and encourages them to become leaders of character among their peers.

- Young Life models mentoring relationships and helps older students use their influence in positive ways.

- Our goal is to plug kids into the church for life.

- All of our staff and volunteers are active members of a church community.

- We have something to offer believing kids too — the opportunity to join with folks who want to impact their school for Christ.
