Established 1941
In a town in Texas, at the request of his pastor, a young associate pastor named Jim Rayburn began showing young people how much God cares about them by showing up in their world and sharing the message of God's love through Jesus in ways and words they could understand and relate to.
Established 1953
Young Life expanded outside of the U.S. with an outreach in France. Our methods and values cross all cultures and meet the needs of young people in over 100 countries around the world.
