Young Life Brazos Valley

For over 50 years we have seeked to bring continual positive change by building strong relationships with kids, encouraging them to meet their full potential both at home and in the community. This impacts the families of the Brazos Valley in a positive ways. While we are watching the moral decline of teens across the nation, we are encouraged to see the profound change of teens in our area through our ministry. Our ultimate mission is to earn the right to share Jesus Christ with teenagers throughout the community.

Young Life Brazos Valley reaches out to middle school, high school, special needs and teen moms across the community. We host clubs, events, campaigners (small groups) and attend kids school events to build relationships. We work to help students succeed in all areas of life; school, home, work and social. We will tutor, be a friend, encourage them with their relationship with their parents and siblings. We work to be in contact with parents to help them know what we are doing and be a support to families. We believe every student matters and work to make them each feel accepted and heard. We have seen student's attendance and grades improve when involved in Young Life. We help them to see their value and how they can give back to family and our community. Besides working with teenagers, we work with college students who learn the value of volunteering and giving their life away to help others. They have a sense of community while in college and learn time management. Our volunteer college students learn time management and enjoy the fun of other students and kids.

Testimonials

David Purdy - "As a college student, I have volunteered andI have experienced true life through serving the Lord through Young Life and here is a story that will forever remind me why I love it. As a young life leader in the Brazos Valley, I am part of a team that works together weekly to spend time with High School students. One of the guys on the team, and myself, did a lot of ministry together over the last two years. Through that time my teammate began friendships with many high school students, one in particular, was receptive to doing all of the fun stuff we did, but far from interested in God or anything related to Jesus. He did not give up on the student, pursued and encouraged him."
