Orienting You to Communications

As we seek to help keep you connected to the rhythm of what’s going on in the mission, we’re trying some new ways of communicating about Young Life.

Google Workspace

Young Life is transitioning staff to Google Workspace Enterprise Plus, bringing together Gmail, Calendar, Chat, Drives, and other Google collaboration tools into one connected experience. Google Workspace accounts are being provisioned for staff and rolled out in phases. Today, approximately 1,800 staff across U.S. Camping, Development, Africa, Mission Services, MCYM, and field leadership have already made the move.

The New Online Giving Experience

In March 2026, we announced the beginnings of a significant update to our online giving platform. As of May 2026, we are continuing to make this the best experience possible with additional donor testing and back-end technical improvements.
