Young Life

to lead and oversee the overall Young Life Military program, known as Club Beyond, at a San Diego U.S. Military Installation. This role requires living near the community where ministry is done.

About the Role There are nearly 300,000 teenagers of active‑duty U.S. military parents stationed worldwide.

Work well in an environment marked by high turnover among teens, families, chaplains, and volunteers.

Be respectful of and embrace a community deeply influenced by a military culture.

Qualifications

Deep love for Christ and lost teens.

Competent communicator with youths, parents, and senior military leaders.

Minimum of three years’ youth ministry experience (preferred).

Willingness to raise part of the budget through personal support.
