Young Life Reviews

I have been working at Young Life as an intern for more than a year

Pros – Very positive experience and can be very rewarding working with kids, sharing the gospel, and spreading God's love around the community.

Cons – Even though it's a good organization, the depth of things talked about at YoungLife can be quite shallow when it comes to Christianity.

Advice to Senior Management – Take some risk, share the gospel without backing down. Stand firm and don't be shallow.

Pros – Leading is a very fulfilling experience with eternal relevance. It's a tremendously fun job quite often. There is lots of room to be creative! It is tremendously exciting seeing high school students meet or grow closer to Christ & getting to walk with them in their pursuit of Him.

Cons – COntact work can be very time-consuming. Kids can be some times frustrating, and certainly emotionally trying at times.

Advice to Senior Management – Encourage, encourage, encourage your team! Deliberately push team-bonding among volunteer leaders! Lead by example in your pursuit of Christ and wisdom.
