EAST LONDON
Started in the US
Young Life began in the United States in 1941, founded by Jim Rayburn! He believed in loving, supporting and caring for the young people in his community. Fast forward to today, and we are seeing that the same methods of supporting & loving teenagers is happening in over 100 countries worldwide.
Moved to the UK
As Young Life's model of youth work continued growing healthily around the world, a group of adults from the UK and Ireland invited Young Life to begin working with young people in their communities. Since 1999, the work has grown and expanded meaning that we are now in every country in the United Kingdom.
Work in London began
Young Life began in Central London in 2015 when a group of concerned adults started meeting weekly to pray for some young people in Westminster and invited Young Life International staff to start a club for 11 - 14 year olds in St. John’s Wood
East London Launches
We launched in Stratford, East London as the second area in London in September 2019, in partnership with a local church. Over the last 5 years, we have grown and are now running a weekly Friday night club & Saturday morning football club, drop in sessions & small discipleship groups. We also run 3 types of camps for teenagers in the community both locally & at our camp in Scotland. Alongside this we are continuing to grow our volunteer & community support teams. We are now beginning to expand with opportunity to begin work in Bow, Tower Hamlets, creating our second area in East London.
