I can tell you that in our area of Virginia that Young Life has always been strong, though our older girls were not involved.  About a decade ago a program for special needs teens called Capernaum was introduced to the community, and it ended up serving young adults twice a month into their mid-20s because Itbwas so much fun and met a social need.  A couple of years ago, the YL state folks said programming had to stop at 22 so a large church picked up the program concert for young adults.  It is year-round once a month with dinner most times and continues to be great.  it has teen, college, young single adults and some coup,E's with young children volunteering and other church members providing the food.

Here YoungbLifevCaoernaum serves all faiths and all disabilities as they will match a one to one peer as needed.  The evening is very structured and the themes are seasonal much if the time.   The focus I woukd say is good basic values and not evangelizing.  I second the poster that most members in a typical YL MS or HS program would likely be wholesome kids.  The program is led by area college kids.
