Young life is a  teen parent monitorship program. Their mission is to get into the lives of young kids and help them to become good parents and to share the love of god with them.
March 8 at the Visalia united Methodist church they are having a banquet, the dinner is free. Lot’s of  silent auction items.
A message tends to go out to young men, from Hollywood and the music industry. Things like party hard, have as many sexual relationships you can, and that is what life is all about. It’s no wonder that we have a large teen pregnancy problem in our communities. Young life is trying to counter that message with a faith based message, and hands on help.

Roar Add Lion Melinda wants everybody to take care of their health and be Heart Aware
