The Retreat Leader often has broader responsibilities in event planning and facilitation, while the Yoga Instructor concentrates on yoga instruction and practice.

What are some common challenges retreat leaders face when managing group dynamics during multi-day events?

Retreat Leaders often encounter challenges such as differing participant expectations, managing group energy levels, and facilitating inclusive discussions. Balancing the needs of individuals with the overall group goals can require quick problem-solving and strong interpersonal skills. Additionally, maintaining a flexible schedule while ensuring all planned activities run smoothly is crucial. Leaders often collaborate with co-facilitators and support staff to address these challenges and create a positive, cohesive experience for all attendees.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a retreat leader?

To thrive as a Retreat Leader, you need strong organizational abilities, group facilitation skills, and relevant experience or certification in wellness, coaching, or the retreat’s focus area. Familiarity with event management software, scheduling tools, and first aid certification is often valuable. Outstanding communication, empathy, and adaptability help build trust and foster a supportive group environment. These skills enable leaders to create meaningful experiences, ensure participant safety, and effectively manage group dynamics.

Job description

Campus Minister for Service and Justice
Walsh Jesuit High School is seeking a campus minister for the Office of Mission and Identity to vision, develop, plan, and coordinate the school’s service and justice formation opportunities for students. Primary responsibilities include developing and overseeing Walsh Jesuit’s comprehensive Christian service and justice programs, experiences, retreats, and immersion trips through a lens of Ignatian spirituality rooted in our Jesuit, Catholic identity.
Reporting directly to the Director of Student Formation and Belonging, this campus minister serves on a team of 3–4 ministers to coordinate and lead service and justice initiatives while also supporting other aspects of student formation and belonging (e.g., retreats, belonging initiatives, prayer groups, sacraments, etc.) that the Office of Mission and Identity sponsors.
The work schedule for this 10+ month position generally mirrors the school’s academic calendar with the expectation that the minister also will work approximately 15 days each summer. This summer work includes facilitating and serving as a chaperone on a student immersion trip, coordinating the school’s weekly ministry to people experiencing homelessness (Labre), and co-facilitation of retreat leader formation and the retreat for new students 1–2 weeks prior to the start of school.
Major Responsibilities
  • Christian Service Coordination – Develop and coordinate Christian service experiences for students including management of the required service-hours tracking platform. Recruit and support adult chaperones and student leaders to assist with services ministries (e.g., Labre, Sophomore Service, etc.).
  • Social Justice Experiences – Coordinate and oversee student/chaperone experiences of solidarity and social justice rooted in our Ignatian and Christian values (e.g., Ignatian Family Teach-In, Arrupe Leadership Summit, etc.).
  • Immersion Trip Experiences – Develop and coordinate all immersion trips, including student/chaperone formation before, during, and after immersion experiences, and foster relationships with partner institutions.
  • Service and Justice Coordination – Through a weekly Christian service meeting and regular dialogue with moderators, serve as coordinator of student groups and clubs that focus on social ministries and advocacy (e.g. Jesuit Refugee Service, Green Team, Fair Trade, Catholic Schools for Peace and Justice, etc.).
  • In-School Service/Justice Initiatives – Identify, develop, and offer all-school initiatives and daily activity (Magis) period opportunities for students that promote awareness of monthly mission themes (e.g., prayer services, masses, mission collections, etc.).
  • Student Formation and Belonging – Serve as a key collaborator with other members of the mission office in regular support of retreats, belonging initiatives, prayer groups, sacraments, and other thematic experiences directed by the mission leadership team.
Core Qualifications
  • Master’s degree in theology, pastoral ministry, religious education, or a related field preferred.
  • Minimum of 2–3 years of professional ministry and/or administrative leadership experience.
  • Strong pastoral presence and ability to connect well with adolescents.
  • Excellent communication, organizational, and collaborative leadership skills.
  • Adaptable, team-player willing and able to help manage and support multiple projects in various areas of the mission office.
  • Commitment to Jesuit values, faith-based student formation, and inclusive building of community.
Compensation and Benefits
This full-time contracted position offers a competitive salary along with excellent benefits including medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance and a 401k plan with matching contribution.
Employment Philosophy
Commensurate with its mission, Walsh Jesuit High School strives to develop a community that represents the diversity of society in general. As such, and as an equal opportunity employer, the school is committed to a diverse workforce.
