Young Life Nordic
IN THE WORLD OF TEENAGERS
The realities of life for young people are becoming increasingly complex. They are searching. Teenagers want to belong, need hope and desire a fulfilling life. They however, often experience loneliness, depression and emptiness. Young Life wants to give teenagers hope and show them new perspectives. Young Life doesn't start with a program. It starts with relationships. Young Life Leaders are adults who are so interested in kids that they go to them, enter their world and culture and build bridges of authentic friendship. These relationships don't happen overnight - they take time, patience, trust, and reliability.
