This is a new position serving multiple areas in West Texas. Effective administration of a Young Life area is essential to the overall health of the ministry. The focus of this role will be to provide administrative support for specific Young Life areas that do not have a local area administrator. The position is remote, but the individual needs to live in Texas. It would be preferable for this employee to live in a community where we currently have Young Life, but not required. Some travel will be required with occasional visits to the supported areas.
