During the Spring Semester students have the opportunity to participate in Young Life Leader Training where they will explore the possibility of becoming Young Life Leaders at a school in our community. During the first week of classes in the Fall, RCYL always hosts YL Welcome Week with an event scheduled every night to allow new students to connect to each other and to upperclassmen. All the events and other meetings are advertised on the Roanoke College Young Life Instagram Account. Several times per semester there are fun events for everyone! Some classics are Dodgeball, Flapjacks and Flannels, and Trivia Nights. There are also women's and men's small groups where students can explore their faith in a smaller setting. Every Wednesday at 8pm there is a co-ed Bible Study called HomeBase where students can connect, learn, and ask questions. We believe that every student has the potential to grow to be a ministry leader and Young Life leaders at RC walk with students on their faith journey. We have a strategy to get there we know that all kids are "too important to ignore".Īt Roanoke College, we work to help every student explore their purpose and identity in Christ, as well as provide opportunities to build community. Over the next five years, our goal is to expand into two additional high schools. With a strong support team of adults focused on these areas, we can continue the Young Life legacy in our community. To accomplish this goal, we are seeking to expand our ministry into new schools and communities. Our vision will always be to serve as a lifeline for kids, one kid at a time. This is the first step of a lifelong journey the choices they make today, based upon God's love for them, will have an impact on future decisions - careers are chosen, marriages formed and families raised - all ripples from the time when a Young Life leader took time to reach out and enter their world. Because their Young Life leader believes in them, they begin to see that their lives have great worth, meaning, and purpose. Kids' lives are dramatically influenced when caring adults come alongside them, sharing God's love with them. These relationships don't happen overnight - they take time, patience, trust, and consistency. It starts with adults who are concerned enough about kids to go to them, on their turf and in their culture, building bridges of authentic friendship.
