Senior High

We go to kids, build bridges of authentic friendship, and introduce them to Jesus Christ.

What We Do

Since Young Life of Canada began in 1954, staff and volunteers have been leaving their adult “comfort zone” to meet teens on “their turf”. You will find Young Life leaders wherever kids are found… cheering in the stands at a hockey game, encouraging them in school activities, or hanging out at the nearest coffee shop or skate park . Young Life communities strive to create meaningful, mentoring relationships between leaders and teens and to create spaces where teens are listened to, and where questions of life and faith can be discussed.

Get Involved

Club

Club is the name of the regular meetings hosted by Young Life volunteer leaders and staff for their teen-aged friends. It is launched by the relationships they have built through contact work. These meetings are attended by teens from junior and senior high schools and includes music, humour and a talk about the Christian faith.

Campaigners

Campaigners is the name given to weekly small-group meetings of our student leaders, who are also called campaigners. This meeting, often early before school, is an opportunity to gather with a smaller group of friends, grow in faith and discuss leadership of the local Young Life club.

Camp

Camps are a highlight for teens and focus on what matters most to them – fun, adventure, friendship and a sense of significance. A unique aspect of our camping program is that teens attend with their leader they’ve come to know throughout the school year. Teens in western Canada attend Young Life of Canada’s beautiful resort camp called RockRidge Canyon, located near Princeton, BC. Teens in Ontario attend Saranac Village, a camp owned by Young Life USA located in upstate New York. Many teens leave YL camp saying it was “the best week of my life”!
