Marilyn DeSoto starts Young Life at Snohomish High School, seeing the ministry grow exponentially as Tom Jonez and Ron Robertson join the leadership team. Over the course of the following decades, thousands of kids attend camps and local clubs.
Our local leader team is vetted, background-checked, and trained to ensure maximum safety and effectiveness when engaging youth. A committee of community focused parents, teachers, and professionals oversee Snohomish Valley Young Life alongside regional, national and global Young Life leadership staff.
Having started at Snohomish High School, Young Life is now also active at Glacier Peak High School, and Monroe High School. WyldLife is active at Centennial Middle School, Valley View Middle School, and Park Place Middle School.
There are over eight thousand teenagers living in the Snohomish Valley Young Life area. Our desire is introduce Jesus to as many of these individuals as possible while helping them develop healthy relationships with their peers, families, and community.
