We believe that young people with intellectual and developmental disabilities have the right to experience all of life's opportunities such as: fulfilling friendships, fun and adventure, activities which build self-esteem and challenge their limits, and the right to explore a personal relationship with Jesus. Our orientation toward youth with disabilities is an unconditional one that welcomes all persons ages 14-22 regardless of their ethnic background, race, or religious beliefs.
While all traditional Young Life activities are open to every teenager with and without a disability, many Young Life areas like ours have dedicated programs for kids and young adults with disabilities, typically referred to as Young Life Capernaum.
