As we prepare to close out the 2023-24 school year, our spring semester has been full of connections, inviting, including, and belonging! We are so grateful for your partnership as we get to do life and come alongside students in our community. 

Between hosting open lunches at high school, cheering on students at sports games, and planning special event nights, we’ve been able to meet and invite in students to show we care about them right where they’re at. Weekly Club nights are full of fun activities and help connect students with the simple gospel message. We’ve kicked off summer camp registration with students so excited to bring friends along for the amazing week-long opportunity!

In only a few weeks, we’ll be finishing the year strong in Young Life-fashion with our Messy Club that combines super silly and fun activities with the message that the love of Jesus meets us in our very real mess, demonstrating the truth of God’s love in both word and action.

Thank you for being part of our Young Life community, and caring about us as we get to reach out to kids in the Cloquet and surrounding areas!

Get ready for our 6th annual Golf Outing on Monday July 29th! There are opportunities to play as a team of four, be a hole sponsor, and donate auction items. Click here to register!

As leaders, we come alongside students and help them grow in their faith. Our Young Life committee brings guidance, prayer, and support for the team.

It’s camp fundraising season and we’re excited to invite you on board! Every summer we take kids to Young Life camp where they find undistracted community with their peers and caring adults - to be known, and to simply be kids. The atmosphere is intentional for students to feel a belonging - where leaders can share the gospel message in simple, clear ways to students right where they’re at. And of course there’s a crazy TON amount of fun throughout it all!

The camp fees are hefty, but each year we are amazed by the support of our community as kids raise money in order to experience one of the best weeks of their lives. Our yearly camp fundraiser is "Operation Clean Up" - students look for people to sponsor them as they clean up parks in Cloquet and the surrounding area. We have two Operation Clean Up dates on the calendar, and our high schoolers are ready to start calling potential sponsors to include them in this opportunity!

Would you like to be contacted by a student looking for sponsors? Email Area Administrator Maggie Stevens at cloquetyounglife@gmail.com.

AN INTRODUCTION!

Meet Maggie Stevens, our new Area Administrator for Cloquet Area Young Life!

Maggie has been a youth leader with Young Life since 2020 and just stepped into the administrator role, excited for this opportunity to bring her skills to the amazing team that reaches out in this community with the heart and light of Jesus.

She lives in Cloquet with her husband Jake and daughter Claire.

THANK YOU FROM THE POINTS'

It's hard to believe how fast the year has gone! A recent highlight for Brian has been guiding a few senior students through the "Next Steps" program - helping kids to find their God-gifted strengths, passions and values as they work to discern what their next step is after high school.

Liz has passed her admin role along to Maggie (above) and remains part-time on staff as she does design and communication work for Cloquet and other YL areas. 

As always, we are so grateful for your prayers and support!

YOUNG LIFE'S VISION

In humble dependence on Jesus we will love and engage all kids in all communities, inviting them to a growing relationship with Jesus.
