Job description

Because of Young Life's exclusive Christian purposes of evangelism and discipleship as set forth in its Articles of Incorporation and in these Bylaws, and to reflect what has always been and will continue to be the position of Young Life, specifically the Christian belief thateach and every employee and volunteer of the corporation should minister as a servant of God with the primary responsibility of proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ and, as such, is an integral part of the Christian mission and ministry of the corporation,
Young Life shall only employ individuals or enlist volunteer leaders who: (a) profess a belief in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord; and (b) subscribe to the statements and policies required of all Young Life staff, including the Young Life Statement of Faith. Therefore, employees and volunteers of Young Life, during working and nonworking hours, shall: (i) be ready, willing and able to fulfill such ministry functions as may be required by the organization; (ii) refrain from conduct and statements that detract from the biblical standards taught and supported by Young Life, and (iii) abide by all policies and practices of Young Life including, without limitation, those related to religious belief or ministry activities.

Interns play a vital role in Young Life's camping ministry. Our interns are committed to Christ, first and foremost. They also have the ability to lead others, serve with excellence, and have a desire to be challenged and grow in their relationship with Christ. Interns will strive together to serve Christ, kids, and each other. They will also have the opportunity to grow as leaders in ministry, develop Christ-like relationships, and enjoy the fun and beauty of camp.

Participants will have the opportunity to work in multiple departments during their year, such as Maintenance, Landscaping, Retail, Food Service, Housekeeping, Administration, and Guest Services. A willingness to fundraise part of your salary is required. As a full-time employee of Young Life, medical, dental, and vision benefits are available.
