What is happening?

On June 14, 2024, the Young Life IT team identified suspicious activity on certain computer systems. Out of an abundance of caution, Young Life IT quickly took the affected systems offline and launched an analysis of the nature and scope of the event.  We are working with external specialists on system analysis and restoration.   

We will provide additional information when the analysis is complete. We are working continuously to restore our networks, systems and applications to full operations.

Please know we will provide regular updates here (Noteworthy) regarding this system outage, especially as systems become available. Be sure to subscribe for updates as well.

Thank you for your ongoing patience and cooperation.

• Wondering about your budget? The Cash Flow budget timeline has been adjusted and the U.S. deficit policy will be adjusted for just the month of July. The fine print: No area will be put on a deficit action or further reduction based on June’s financial results.  Similarly, The U.S. field process of transferring money out of operating funds to cover any campership deficits as of May 31 will not take effect in June business. This process will resume at the end of July. Please watch for further updates regarding when you will be able to see accurate financial information.
