In a town in Texas, at the request of his pastor, a young associate pastor named Jim Raybrun began showing young people how much God cares about them by showing up in their world and sharing the message of God's love through Jesus in ways and words they could understand and relate to.
Today, Young Life is a global organization with local focus. You'll find Young Life leaders from diverse cultures, nationalities and backgrounds building friendships with kids all across Oklahoma & Kansas.
The Cimarron region encompasses Oklahoma & Kansas and we have 92 staff and 504 volunteers who are investing in teenagers across our two states.
Since 1941, Young Life leaders have walked with kids and earned the right to be heard in an exhausting and exciting world. In 2018, 818 kids were involved every week in Oklahoma & Kansas.
