Young Life Capernaum is also a ministry to families and parents who are raising kids with disabilities. The divorce rate for parents of kids with disabilities is over 80 percent.

Here are two ways you can get involved with Young Life Capernaum in Baltimore:
1. Serve as a buddy at club meetings
Every other week during the school year, Young Life Capernaum hosts a club for students with disabilities to come spend time with their friends and leaders, enjoy music and games and hear the Gospel presented in a way that is clear and relevant to them. To pull this off, between 10 and 20 buddies are needed to come spend time with kids and be a presence/helping hand. Club will pick back up in September 2015.
2. Adult committee
Young Life Capernaum is looking for a group of adults to join its committee. This group will meet once a month and assist with big events, such as the annual fundraiser banquet.
If you have an interest in either of these opportunities, please contact YL Capernaum staff member Kate Goehringer by emailing kaitlyngoehringer@gmail.com.
