Small Towns
Because EVERY KID Deserves to Hear the Gospel!
Small Town Facts:

Focusing on communities with fewer than 25,000 residents, the Young Life Small Town/Rural Initiative exists to ensure that kids in small towns don’t miss out on the friendship of a caring adult, the fun of going to club every week, the excitement of spending a week at a Young Life camp, or the opportunity to hear about Jesus Christ in terms they can understand from an adult they know and respect.
