Cheering For Kids
Kids have lots of choices to make. They choose friends, lab partners, sports to play and prom dates. They also face other choices that are harder for teenagers to make- like deciding to live with mom or dad, if they are going to drink alcohol with their friends, and how their life can have purpose and direction.
As they face these choices, Young Life is rooting for teenagers. Young Life leaders are caring adults who know that adolescene is an unpredictable time. No matter which way life goes for teenagers, leaders are always ready to congratulate or console, encourage or offer advice. They are also experts at having fun and showing teenagers how to enjoy life. Leaders know kids well and enjoy being involved in their lives; whether that means attending every soccer game of the season or being there when life seems too heavy to carry alone.
For almost 10 years, Collierville Young Life leaders have been cheering for kids. Teenagers mean the world to Young Life leaders, who are excited for kids to know how loved, important and valuable they are. Through these relationships, Young Life clubs, campaigners and contact work, teenagers learn that life can be fulfilling, and that the tough choices of adolescence don't have to be faced alone. Leaders also have opportunities to tell kids who their biggest fan of all is- a loving Creator who desires for kids to know He cares for them!
The Role of A Young Life Leader
Leaders are committed to being involved in kids' lives-from supporting them at their sporting events to listening to them talk about what's important to them. Our leaders help kids consider the direction of their lives, and they offer hope for the future.
