Zionsville young life
Young Life is a Christian ministry that reaches out to middle school, high school, and college students in all 50 states and more than 100 countries around the world.
In Zionsville, our staff person Jia Martin, and her team of volunteer leaders focus on reaching adolescents by building genuine relationships through weekly club meetings, small groups, meetups in the community, as well as fall and summer camp trips.
The group is supported by a committee of adults who live in the community and believe in the mission, as well as numerous donors who give generously to fund ministry activities, supplies, and camp scholarships. Whether you're a high school student, parent, or interested community member, we'd love to hear from you!
