Youth Ministry Director

The Youth Ministry Director will lead and oversee the overall Young Life Military program, known as Club Beyond, which is ecumenically focused and outreach oriented. The role requires building healthy relationships with adults and kids, and developing community outreach to 'unchurched' teens, discipleship to Christian teens, and leading and equipping volunteers to do 'hands-on' middle and high school Christian youth programs. The Director will work in an environment with a high degree of turnover among teens, families, chaplains, and volunteers, and must be respectful of and embrace a community deeply influenced by a military culture.

What You Will Do
