I Have a Dream

Designed to give our students a platform to showcase their gifts, talents, and dreams, I Have a Dream is a night of performances which takes place in February each year. From speeches to dances, our students have the chance to show how God has made them uniquely and beautifully in front of hundreds of friends and family. The evening also includes a student-made art auction, T-Shirt sales, and plenty of chances to give back and support our incredible youth.

Thank you so much to everyone who volunteered and attended I Have a Dream 2025!

We can’t wait for next year! Learn more about I Have a Dream at ylfr.org/ihad

Christmas in RVA

Grown out of a partnership with Richmonder Joe Dunn, Christmas in RVA is an event in December where students and their families can attend a night full of fun, receive a few Christmas gifts, and “shop” for and wrap a gift for their parent.

Thank you to everyone who helped make our 2024 Christmas in RVA happen! We will see you next year for Christmas in RVA 2025!

The Amazing Praise is a 48-hour giving celebration held annually each September. Along with up to 20 other faith-based Richmond non-profits, Youth Life raises money over the course of two days to help fund our programs for the year. Learn more about upcoming Amazing Praise events here.

Thank you to everyone who helped us raise over $70,000 during the 2024 Amazing Praise!
