How are DGL STUDENTS selected?
We identify current Young Life leaders who have great potential to succeed academically and in leadership. For many, this opportunity helps end the cycle of poverty in their family.
the essential role of sponsors
We match students with sponsors who support them financially along with prayer and encouragement. We make sure every student has someone who will champion them on their journey and hopefully even beyond graduation.
