Volunteer Impact
Volunteers of YoungLives are making a difference in Syracuse by supporting the following efforts:
Mentoring
Mentoring forms the heart of YoungLives. Mentors build relationships with teen moms, offering guidance in matters of faith, parenting and self-worth. This investment of time and heart has empowered positive, sustainable change in the lives of these beautiful families for more than 20 years.
Club
YoungLives “Club” is a monthly outreach event which provides a safe place for teen moms to come together to build friendships. Food, activities, music, and childcare make club a fun place to hear about God’s love.
Campaigners
The YoungLives “Campaigners” gathering happens twice per month for teen moms who wish to learn more or grow in their faith through study, service, and leadership. The purpose is taking on life's tough questions with a group of friends and leaders you can trust.
