Many people are looking for creative ways to fundraise for Young Life in their local area. As you know, many fundraisers have been postponed or cancelled and our staff have been innovative and creative in approaching these obstacles. 41 & Change exists only to serve Young Life and much of their product comes from La Finca, our camp in Nicaragua.

HOW OUR INTERNATIONAL TRAINING INCREASED 600% DURING A PANDEMIC

Written by: Suzanne Sittko
Like so many, we were forced to move all our training online. This highlighted challenges ranging from setting to teaching to length. This shift made the event a "team effort" more than ever, and the unexpected positive result was that student participation increased 600% from 30 students previously to over 180 this year! Now this is a "new normal" that I can get used to!

Written By Tanya Huber 
Entering school buildings across our Young Life region for the last decade, recruiting teacher staff and volunteers, my defined goal was to headhunt the educators who were willing and able to fill a role. While success stories abound, this consumer-mindedness blew right past this treasured team of educators, and others like them. Besides myself, none on our team is on Young Life staff, yet each has a powerful ministry, alive and active, in his or her classroom.

Upcoming Trainings

New Staff Information:  Training department released this email regarding plans for New Staff Training. To ensure the safety of each training participant and because of the gathering restrictions in Oregon, the decision has been made to modify the timing and delivery of New Staff Training. Instead of holding New Staff Training in August 2020 at Washington Family Ranch, it is our desire that it will be held in January 2021 at a Young Life camp (yet to be determined). Registration will open July 15. In addition to the January in-person training experience, we will deliver online content starting in September utilizing online course modules and virtually-delivered live instruction. More information about dates, location and cost will be sent as they become available.
