The 2026 Staff Engagement Survey is Launching Soon — Your Voice Matters!

The 2026 Young Life Staff Engagement Survey will officially launch on November 9 and run through November 20, 2026! This second annual survey provides a vital, confidential space for all full-time and part-time staff across field ministry, camping, and mission services to share honest feedback.

Your daily work forms the foundation of our mission. Participating in this survey allows leadership to listen deeply, learn continuously, celebrate our shared strengths, and realign resources where we see operational gaps.

Reaching our benchmark goal of 75% participation missionwide ensures that the feedback we receive truly reflects the diverse voices of our global Young Life family—and every single response directly shapes future priorities and initiatives.

For full details, FAQs, and preparation steps, please visit the Staff Resources (SRS) Engagement Survey Page. Be on the lookout for your unique invitation link arriving directly from People Element (peopleelement.com) on November 9!
