Everything You Need to Make the Most of Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday (the Tuesday following Thanksgiving) falls on December 2, 2025. Over 36 million people in the U.S. give to nonprofits on this day of generosity — it’s a great time to engage donors in your local community to partner with Young Life!

A New Way to Share the Young Life Story

The Young Life Blog is a central, easy-to-share hub for stories, ministry resources, and articles that highlight how God is working through Young Life. Think of it like a content library housing stories:

  • Impact stories
  • Articles focused on Christ, kids, and culture
  • Ministry tools and tips
  • Shareable content for local and global use

Who It’s For

  • Staff looking for strong stories to share (and coming soon there will be opportunities to contribute their stories)
  • Donors and friends who enjoy regular updates from the mission and adjacent content
  • Alumni, parents, and volunteers who want to stay connected or grow in their connection
  • New people exploring how to get involved

Use it in your updates, committee communication, training, or social channels!

Monthly Newsletter

We’re also launching a monthly Young Life newsletter that will pull its stories directly from the content library (aka blog). It will replace In the Know, The Informer, and The Relationships Newsletter, giving external audiences one clear communication each month.

Why It Matters

A unified library (aka blog) and mission-wide external newsletter will:

  • Strengthen donor and volunteer engagement
  • Increase web traffic to local and global ministry
  • Reduce communication clutter
  • Give staff one dependable source of high-quality content to engage with and share

Have a story about how God is moving in Young Life? We’d love to hear it!

Check out the Young Life blog and start sharing it today!
