YoungLives NYCLI

YoungLives NYCLI empowers young parents and provides the support, community, and resources they need to thrive. By walking alongside young moms and dads, we are shaping generations.

Our Story

For 30 years, YoungLives has been a part of Young Life’s global ministry and is specifically focused on walking alongside young parents. Through Young Life’s time-tested methods and life-on-life mentoring, young moms and dads are empowered to make positive choices, set and achieve goals, and grow in their faith.

YoungLives NYCLI is a part of the Young Life NYC + LI Region which includes local ministries across all five boroughs and Long Island.

The Young Life Manhattan Region launched YoungLives in 2019 and each year the ministry continues to grow, serving more than 100 young parents in 2024.
