Young Life is a non-denominational Christian outreach ministry for youth. Young Life’s mission is to help middle and high school adolescents develop and foster a relationship with Christ through weekly club meetings, camps, special groups and personal contact with other youth and Young Life leaders. It is a relational ministry. Young Life has been reaching out to youth for more than half a century and now operates throughout the United States and in more than 20 foreign countries. Young people of all races and religions are welcome in the Young Life community.

Young Life in St. Augustine just celebrated its 35th anniversary this year. Many of the Flagler students in the Young Life/Youth Ministry Program serve as volunteers in the local Young Life Ministry. Young Life has a full-time area director, Justin Forbes, and a coordinator, Martha Shinn. Liz Steen is Urban Staff. Les Comee works in the local area, as well as at the Regional level for Young Life. The relationship between Flagler College and Young Life has benefited the students as well as the youth of the St. Augustine community over the years.
