Welcome to our Pulse Gives Back Sponsorship Page!
2025 2nd Quarter Sponsorship
We are excited to feature Young Lives as this quarter's Pulse Gives Back sponsorship! Nominated by PFS clients Julie and Craig Wall of Aurora, IL,Young Lives is a faith-based ministry dedicated to supporting teenage mothers and their children.
A few years ago, Julie had the opportunity to serve at a Young Lives camp, and we're honored to share her inspiring experience:
Young Lives is a Christian ministry that works with teenage mothers and their children. Several years ago I had an opportunity to serve for a week at a Young Lives camp. During the week I worked with another group of women and provided daycare for the babies so that the teenage mothers could take part in a host of fun, engaging games and activities, and for a week, just be teenagers.
The week I spent in Michigan at the Young Lives camp is hard to put into words. I expected to show up and bless others, but during that time I was the one that was truly blessed. The precious little ones touched my heart as well as seeing these young moms' commitment, and love for their babies. Here are a few pictures to show you the joy camp provides as well the amazing organization it takes to orchestrate the special week for these moms.
Young Lives is part of the Young Life organization and provides mentoring, guidance and encouragement for these young women as they parent and pursue their own life goals. This faith based program not only uplifts these new mothers, but also strengthens their families and communities. Camp is just one part of the ministry. Young Lives groups meet regularly to provide the support, care and connection that these women and their babies need! Young Lives is a ministry that impacts 2 generations!
