Cleveland County Young Life

Shelby, North Carolina is home to one of the oldest Young Life programs in the world.  The first Young Life Club was held at Shelby High School in 1947, and Young Life is still alive at Shelby today!  Now, leaders are building relationships with kids at Crest High and Shelby Middle as well.  We hope to have Young Life in all of our area high schools and Wyldlife at all of our area middle schools in the future.  For more information concerning Young Life in Cleveland County, please contact our office.  

The Role of a Young Life Leader

Leaders are committed to being involved with kids' lives -- from supporting them at their sporting events to listening to them talk about what's important to them. Our leaders help kids consider the direction of their lives, and they offer hope for their future.
