at a Glance

Our Mission

Since 1941, Young Life Leaders have been showing up at basketball games, hanging out at the local lunch spot, and building friendships with kids, all over the world. Leaders aim to strengthen friendships, family, community and church bonds and continue to pursue the world through the word of God.  Young Life Leaders have been in Grand Traverse since 2008 actively sharing their mission of introducing adolescents to Jesus Christ and helping them grow in their faith.
