Facts and Figures
Chick-fil-A Victoria is so excited to be partnering with Young Life! A little bit about how this event effects our community.
Our Mission:
Introducing adolescents to Jesus Christ and helping them grow in their faith.
The mission of Young Life is to introduce adolescents to Jesus Christ and help them grow in their faith.
In 1941, a man named Jim Rayburn had a dream for the kids in his town of Gainesville, TX. Young Life started with prayer and an aching heart for young people. Before his death, he addressed Young Life one last time, and said “There is no price too high to pay, to see to it that young people have a chance to know the Savior.”
For the past fifteen years, Young Life staff and volunteer leaders have stepped into the world of teenagers right here in Victoria.
Every Monday, we welcome anywhere from 50-100 kids from Victoria East, Victoria West, St. Joseph and homeschool to Young Life club. This is where kids get to be kids, have fun singing songs and playing crazy games and get to hear a short message about God’s love for them.
Young Life has 21 first-class camp properties located across the country. Kids stay for a week of high adventure--mountain climbing, sailing, horseback riding, and other activities--in a beautiful setting far removed from their usual pressures and concerns. During this week of camp our high school friends get to hear messages about God's love in terms they can understand. Young Life camping is open to kids who often are overlooked: those from economically depressed communities, kids with disabilities and teenage mothers. Many of our high school friends accept Christ into their hearts or renew their commitment to Him during their time at Young Life Camp.
In July of 2025 we will take 50 high school students from Victoria, to summer camp in Fraser, Colorado.
We are 100% funded by generous donors in our community who have a heart for teenagers in Victoria. We could not do this without your support! Thank you for your interest in supporting the mission of Young Life Victoria.
ALL PROCEEDS STAY LOCAL AND SUPPORT
Young Life Victoria!
100% of the proceeds raised through our sponsors and participants in the Chick-fil-A 5K and the "Running of the Calves" Kids Fun Run go towards helping send local Victoria high school students to camp. For many students, a Young Life camp is their first opportunity to experience an outdoor, team building event of this nature and it is a life changing event.
