The term has not been addressed previously on this topic. From Merriam-Webster: Definition of young people:
the youth usually between the ages of 12 and 24 ministered to by a Protestant Christian church or denomination especially:
* the organized youth group of a church
* the young people's meeting
* young people's service
* the young people have invited the Connecticut valley youth to be their guests
"Young people" was not a term invented by the LC, and is not generally recognizable as LC-speak. "Young people" is used in many contexts across the US to refer to people who are...young.
