About The Position

This is a support role that works alongside the Sites and Facilities Superintendent to learn and help lead all aspects of the Sites and Facilities Department. Young Life is a relational ministry. Staff must be able to convey a sense of Christ-like hospitality and concern for guests and staff. Responding to the unexpected needs of a guest in a prompt and professional manner is important. All staff members are expected to represent Young Life positively and professionally within the community and be able to work with and minister to the volunteer high school and college-age young people who attend our camp. Because of Young Life’s exclusive Christian purposes of evangelism and discipleship, Young Life shall only employ individuals or enlist volunteer leaders who profess a belief in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord and subscribe to the statements and policies required of all Young Life staff, including the Young Life Statement of Faith. Employees and volunteers of Young Life, during working and nonworking hours, shall be ready, willing and able to fulfill such ministry functions as may be required by the organization; refrain from conduct and statements that detract from the biblical standards taught and supported by Young Life; and abide by all policies and practices of Young Life including, without limitation, those related to religious belief or ministry activities. All camps share a common purpose: creating an environment where Young Life staff bring Christ to life by creatively presenting the complete gospel of Jesus Christ. Speaking clearly from the Scriptures, camp speakers introduce kids to the person of Christ, the nature of humanity, the work of Christ on the cross, the hope of the resurrection and the opportunity for reconciliation with God. Young Life requires all employees to sign a Statement of Faith. We recommend you read this statement before applying for any position.
