Youth Ministry Director at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida
About The Position
Club Beyond provides incarnational, Christ-centered ministry to teenagers whose parents serve in the U.S. military. Military teens often move repeatedly during their school years, making identity, belonging, and connection especially challenging. Staff walk alongside teens and create a safe community where they can build friendships, experience God’s love and purpose, develop hope, and grow in resiliency. The Youth Ministry Director leads and oversees the overall Young Life Military program, known as Club Beyond, which is ecumenically focused and outreach oriented. The role develops relationships with teens, adults, families, the local community, military installation, and chapel community; supports outreach to teens who are not connected to a church; disciples Christian teens; and equips volunteers to lead hands-on middle- and high-school Christian youth programs. Staff must live near the community where they serve and be prepared to work in a military culture with frequent turnover among teens, families, chaplains, and volunteers. The position requires a willingness to make a three-year commitment and to raise part of the budget through personal support. The organization is hiring full-time and part-time staff at military installations in the United States and internationally. The listed base salary range is $45,000–$60,000, based on education and experience, with a location-dependent cost-of-living adjustment. Annual national funding of $16,667 is provided.
