We call Young Life's ministry for teens and young adults with disabilities, "Capernaum," because we do not think that physical or mental limitations should keep an adolescent from the presence of the One who promises fullness of life. Since then, Young Life's focus on teens and young adults with disabilities, called Capernaum, has spread throughout the United States and abroad. Capernaum is establ
ished and supported locally by caring people with a heart for adolescents with disabilities. Staff and trained volunteer leaders help these friends discover and enjoy acceptance, adventure and fun in the mutual friendships they develop and at weekly club meetings, specail events and camping trips.
