Partnerships between dioceses and the ecumenical evangelization group Young Life aim to connect Catholic youths with their Catholic parishes.
Young Life opened a Catholic relations office in 2012. Partnerships with bishops and their dioceses have been established over the past three years.
The first partnership began in 2015, in the Diocese of Brownsville. In December 2017 the Archdiocese of Portland signed a memorandum of understanding with Young Life, beginning its own partnership with the group.

Its a good first step. I would love to see more kids going back to church.
A LOSE-LOSE for both sides.
I was invited to a young life get together around 1971 maybe 72. I went, it was it was a nice house, in a nice neighborhood and the reason I was asked was because I was a guitarist, and I went in there and the place was full of girls.
I had a wonderful young life experience. I don’t remember much except strumming guitar and singing songs and looking at lots of pretty girls.
Hey... I was just a normal American guy and nothing untoward ever happened, but the view was phenomenal.
This is what Young Life really wants to do, normalize evangelization as the centerpiece to what it means to be Catholic.”
Almost exact recent words of Francis & Company. Part of degradation of doctrine.

What’s wrong with evangelization? In the Book of Acts, it plays a pretty important role doesn’t it? And the apostles were Catholics, yes?
More temptation.
