Job description
We have a unique opportunity for someone looking for a ministry position with the passion to be a Christian missionary and mentor in a local community. Since Young Life began in Canada in 1954, its staff and volunteers have cared enough to leave the comfort of their adult worlds and enter the arena of high school and middle school life. These trained Young Life leaders are committed to friendships with kids - no strings attached. They go where teenagers are and spend time in their world playing road hockey, going to the mall, watching a play or band concert, hiking or skiing. Young Life leaders build bridges of friendship in order to “earn the right to be heard.” We are all about communicating God's love and the Christian message to kids in terms they can understand. Young Life values and respects all young people, and welcomes all teenagers regardless of race or religious beliefs.
Young Life Capernaum in Edmonton is a ministry for adolescents and young adults who have intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). We are seeking to hire a Capernaum coordinator.
We also are looking for someone who can help empower our Capernaum friends to use their gifts to serve in their communities and spaces.
We are really working hard to not only reach teens with disabilities but find ways for them to be a part of leadership opportunities too.
This is an exciting opportunity to develop the Capernaum ministry in St. Albert, it will directly impact the lives of not just teenagers with disabilities, but those who love them. This Capernaum ministry is unique in that not only do we serve our Capernaum friends, but a number of our buddies are not involved directly with Young Life in high school, giving us an opportunity to reach out to them as well.
