YOU WERE MADE FOR THIS.

Because EVERY Kid Deserves to Hear the Gospel.

Since March of 2020, Young Life One National has existed to reach homeless, trafficked, foster care, and incarcerated youth.Here in Columbia, our focus is on incarcerated youth.

Our​ Mission

Kids around the world are searching for home, meaning, and belonging.

We get in it with them and accept them as they are.

Kids have the chance to live life to the fullest.

IT MATTERS

"When I first came in here (DJJ), I did not know how to love myself the way that God loves me. I now know that I am worthy, important, beautiful, kind and a child of God."

In August of 2023, Maddie (YL One Area Director) met a girl called A. A had recently turned herself in to DJJ and was waiting for trial. Maddie and A built a strong friendship where they talked about Christ and how a relationship with him can change everything. Though we cannot show faces or give away identities, read the letter A wrote about her experience with Young Life One.
