Who We Are | YL Toronto

For Every Kid

Our vision is that not a single kid in the city of Toronto would find themselves alone and without spiritual guidance at the most critical time of their life.

Whether they are middle school, high school, or university-aged; born in Canada, or recently arrived; whether they are someone with deep faith or no faith, they can find a place to belong in Young Life.

Young Life in Toronto is a ministry of Young Life of Canada. Young Life is a Christian mission loving teens in their world, encouraging them to know Jesus Christ.

Local in Approach

Although global in scale, Young Life is local in focus and function. Young Life area ministries are staffed, directed, run, funded, and supported by local adults. These adults are involved because they desire that adolescents in their community would have a place where they can belong, build friendships and community, and think deeply about life.

At Young Life people know my name, cry with me, and laugh with me. I know I'm loved and safe. Young Life makes me feel like I belong. They don't treat me differently, no matter what.

For Every kid.
For Every Neighborhood.

It's our dream that every kid in Toronto would have the opportunity to hear about Jesus. We'd love to talk about what that could look like in your neighborhood.
