We are The Circle

An online monthly giving community open to anyone, anywhere, at any gift amount that pools and directs funds together for greater impact on Young Life ministries to kids around the world.

Young Life's work

Young people accounted for one-third of the global population in 2020, making them the largest demographic across the globe. Today's kids are encountering anxiety, depression, loneliness, isolation, abuse, violence and suicidal tendencies at unprecedented rates, lacking a real foundation of hope and love in their lives.

Young Life is on a mission to change that

We believe that kids respond to genuine friendship where they feel seen and known, extended through locally trained and well-vetted volunteer adult leaders who care about kids and have a faith in God. Endorsed and supported by local Young Life committees, kids have the chance to hear and see how faith, hope and love can impact their lives.

Each year, we review 12 new initiatives across the global mission and vote quarterly to direct our collective funds for maximum impact.

Together, we can help reach the next kid one vote at a time
