Kane County Young Life

Young Life is a non-denominational, Christian, non-profit organization that is committed to introducing adolescents to Jesus Christ and helping them grow in their faith. Young Life staff and leaders are caring adults who strive to build positive relationships with teenagers. Through friendships as well as through club, Campaigners and camp, Young Life leaders get to know teens and gain their trust. Because of these relationships, leaders “earn the right to be heard” and can share the Gospel with their teenage friends.

In Kane County Young Life is working with both high school and middle school kids in Geneva and St Charles. In addition, we have a very special outreach ministry to incarcerated teens at the Illinois Youth Center in St Charles.
