YoungLives Cleveland
Servicing any teen mother ages 12-21 in Cleveland and surrounding suburbs.
We are committed to reaching teenage girls who are pregnant or have already entered the role of motherhood, by entering their world and modeling the unconditional love of Christ. We do this by having a Club meeting with the girls and also their babies. YoungLives Club is commonly called “a two-hour mini sleepover, (without literally sleeping over). The two hour long meeting consists of high energy music, relationship building games, humorous skits, and a talk, by a leader about the basics of the Christian faith. Club is casual, friendly, and geared towards children who know little to nothing about Jesus Christ and the Christian faith. Our hope is that when a child leaves club, they had a lot of fun, heard about Jesus Christ, and felt accepted by others. In YoungLives, we provide free transportation, childcare, as well as a family style meal at our monthly club meetings.
A note from Mrs. Nisha
Becoming a teen mom at the age of 17 myself and growing up in the Hough and Glenville area, I truly understand what the moms of YoungLives are struggling with. Being a teen mom is hard but being a teen mom with no support and feeling like you're alone is even harder.
It has been my pleasure to serve in this ministry for over 10 years. I pray that God uses my life story to bring hope, love and light to the teen moms in Cleveland.
Does it matter?
In 2019 Cleveland had 6,026 births from girls aging 15-19 yrs old
Cleveland's teen pregnancy rate is 26% higher than the national average
94%
of volunteer leaders and staff with
YoungLives would overwhelmingly recommend their leadership experience to a friend.
