Founded in 1941 by Jim Rayburn, a Presbyterian seminarian, the nonprofit Young Life Development is a Christian ministry that seeks to support the growth and development of youth in a Christian environment. Young Life reaches out to middle school, high school and college kids across the United States as well as in 60 countries worldwide. The organization focuses on connecting caring adults with adolescents in order to introduce them to Christianity and help them grow in their faith. Young Life programs include camping excursions, hosting local club meetings, leadership campaigns and contact work with youth. The Diablo Valley Young Life Headquarters is located in Walnut Creek and hosts weekly meetings for its volunteers and participants.
