rewritting stories —together.
We have grown to know over 34,000 teen parents and their stories across 33 countries because people have chosen to step into the lives of teen parents with their presence. And when presence meets purpose, transformation begins.
As we enter the next chapter, will you help us know 35,000 young families? When you partner with us, you help create more safe places for teen parents to hope in the story God is writing through them.
WAYS TO PARTNER
There are several meaningful ways you can support YoungLives globally.
- Sponsor a Journey | This sends more volunteers into the lives of teen parents and help them grow in faith, life, and leadership.
- Send Teen Parents To Camp | This gives teen parents a chance to encounter the gospel in a safe, welcoming environment, while their children are cared for.
- Become a Monthly Supporter | This helps launch new outreach or sustain existing ministry, ensuring more young teen parents hear the hope of Jesus.
Help change a story's trajectory
Did you know that adolescent parents who walked with a mentor for 18 months were 3x more likely to succeed in their educational goals?! In 2025, we knew more than 30,000 teen parents were truly KNOWN by a YoungLives mentor. We want to know more.
“Supporting this ministry is life-giving to a group of young people who are often judged, overlooked, and yet so very precious in the eyes of Jesus. I am grateful to be able to support the work of YoungLives in this way.” -Joan, YoungLives Donor

Hear it from our people
“In my darkest moment, God brought the YoungLives team into my life. They visited me, encouraged me, and supported me in every way possible ...
Being with them reminds me that there is always hope because God knows us, loves us, and never abandons us.”

This community has helped me become a disciple that can make other disciples."
