Internship Beyond Finance Jobs in Silver Spring, MD

Description:

Young Life Military is looking for those with a heart to serve and a desire to grow in their walks with Christ. We are excited for you to consider the possibility of joining us for a long-term internship. Our interns are accepted through Young Life and will work with an experienced Young Life Military/Club Beyond staff person. Interns have the opportunity to serve either in the United States or in Europe. The Club Beyond supervising staff person gives direction and trains the intern as they assist with many aspects of the ministry. Activities include camps, clubs, Bible studies as well as just "hanging out" with kids and modeling a personal example of Jesus Christ. A desire to love and serve kids should be a priority.

This is where you can be the difference in a military teen’s life! By being in their world, walking alongside them, and creating a community where they experience the truth of God’s love and purpose for them, our staff provide a safe space where teens can develop friendships and connections to experience laughter, build hope, and generate resiliency.

We are currently providing incarnational ministry at many military installations around the world. You will have the opportunity to lead and oversee the overall Young Life Military program, known as Club Beyond, which is ecumenically focused and outreach oriented.

• Leadership Development: Attend volunteer leader meetings. Meet weekly with one volunteer to discuss their involvement in Club Beyond. Meet with your supervisor and learn how to recruit and train new leaders and build a leadership team that reflects the diversity of the community.
• Resource Development: Discuss with your supervisor raising financial support, both the benefits and the challenges. Communicate monthly updates with personal donor partners.
• Be a role model (incarnational/relational ministry) and assist with developing community outreach to "unchurched" teens, discipleship to believing teens, and leading and equipping volunteers for "hands-on" middle and high school Christian youth ministry.
• Be respectful of and embrace a community that is deeply influenced by a military culture.
