Young Life begins in the USA

50+ Weekly in Dayton
Kids involved weekly
Dayton Urban Young Life leaders care enough about high school teens to go to them, on their turf and in their culture, building bridges of authentic friendship. After the relationship is built; after the respect is gained; after we meet the parents; we invite the teens to attend our weekly Bible Study (Campaigners) and our weekly party (Club). Each teen is teen introduced to their Christian leader, who will walk with them during their high school career.
