You’re Part of the Story

Dear Friend of YL Haiti, 

You are receiving this message because you are part of something truly special.

Over the past decade, you stepped onto Haitian soil with Young Life. You entered communities where the needs were great, but where the joy of Jesus was even greater. You met remarkable leaders, laughed with kids, learned new worship songs in Creole, and witnessed the Gospel come alive in powerful, personal ways.

Those weren’t just trips.
They were shared, sacred experiences that shaped us . . . and connected us.

When the Haitian government collapsed in 2019, travel came to an abrupt stop. For six years now, we haven’t been able to be together in person. And yet, we continue to pray, plan, and resource Young Life Haiti, trusting God for peace, protection, and restoration across Haiti.

But here is the incredible truth:
Young Life in Haiti is not shrinking . . . it’s growing!

Ministry in 2015 → Ministry in 2026

Kids to Camp
477 → 2,030 (more kids at camp)

Clubs
29 → 273 (more places to hear about Jesus)

Volunteer Leaders
117 → 1,040 (more leaders walking with kids)

Staff
13 → 38 (more leaders guiding the mission)

Because you’ve been there and seen it firsthand, you are part of this story in a unique way.

If you’re already connected through serving, giving, or praying, thank you. We’re so grateful for you! 

And if you’d like to reconnect, we invite you to step back in through one of the opportunities below as the story continues to unfold in Haiti.

Walk for Hope
One meaningful way to step in right now is through Walk for Hope—helping send 2,630 kids to camp this summer.

From May 1–15, our Haitian staff and leaders will walk through their communities, inviting others to give so kids can encounter the hope of Jesus at camp. We’re inviting friends here to walk alongside them through prayer and generosity.

Just $100 sends one kid to camp.
Will you help send the next kid?
