Young Life Downtown Columbia was established in 2011. Our mission is to introduce adolescents from under-resourced communities to Jesus and help them grow in their faith.
More than anything else, staff and volunteers are motivated to reach every kid, everywhere, with the message of God’s love and purpose.
We are actively serving students at Eau Claire High School and Keenan High School with CA Johnson High School on the horizon. We’re hoping to include Columbia High and Lower Richland in the near future.
Over the past 9 years, we’ve built strong community and developed lifelong relationships with hundreds of high school kids. It is our promise to continue to go wherever kids are with this simple message: “You are known and you are loved!”
Volunteer your time to work directly with young people.
