Young Life Cleveland West

Thank You! In this season of Thanksgiving, we are so thankful for our faithful  Young Life supporters!  Thank you for reading, praying, laughing and rejoicing  with us as we pursue kids for Christ. In the spirit of Giving Tuesday, we would love if you would consider making a donation to Young Life to support the work we are doing in our eight current ministries across the near west side of Cleveland. Your support will help our 3 full-time staff, one part-time staff, and 25 volunteers to sustain our current work with kids.

This will help us raise 50% of our annual budget by January 1 and let us focus our energy more fully on meeting with and serving local teenagers in your community. Thank you again for partnering with us as we walk alongside adolescents to introduce the
