Northland has partnered with many local organizations in the central Florida area who serve our local community in a variety of ways. Each week one of these organizations will be featured with ways for you to organize a group and go serve locally.

Partner with Young Life in Central Florida

Young Life doesn't start with a program. It starts with adults who are concerned enough about kids to go to them, on their turf and in their culture, building bridges of authentic friendship. These relationships don't happen overnight — they take time, patience, trust and consistency. Ultimately, Young Life leaders desire to give every kid the opportunity to hear about who Jesus Christ is and to begin a relationship with Him.

In Young Life, we give kids the first word. We go into their lives with open ears and listen. We know that kids don’t care what we know till they know how much we care. In Young Life, we call that earning the right to be heard. It’s not hard to pick up what kids are saying. They want to be respected and feel safe. They want to live life abundantly — and that means having massive doses of fun, but it also means discovering who they are and what they were made for. So, in Young Life we invite kids into respectful relationships and into more fun and adventure (at club and camp, for example) than they can imagine.

Young Life is thriving in Seminole County and East Orlando with hundreds of kids gathering every week to have tons of fun, develop life long relationships and hear the good news about what Jesus has done for us. Be a part of this amazing ministry here in Central Florida! Young Life needs volunteer leaders who care about kids, prayer partners, board members and more!
