New Year, New You... Join Our Adult Committee!

Metro Christmas celebration with our volunteer leaders and committee.

What comes to mind as you reflect on the Year 2018? We recently sat down with our leaders and got to share many of the great victories, tough losses, and examples of faithfulness we've seen this year. One of the major highlights has been the growth of adult involvement and support for the Young Life ministry on the near west side of Cleveland. In case you're new to Young Life, one thing that makes it unique is that many of the local ministry leaders are volunteers who have been trained by the local staff. These volunteers sacrifice a lot of their free time after working full-time jobs to meet with and mentor students at their local school.

Needless to say, we love opportunities to honor and encourage these volunteers. Our committee did an incredible job of doing so at our recent Christmas celebration. Our leaders were shocked as they left not just with some goofy "white elephant" presents, but with hand-written notes from committee members, books to encourage them in their faith, and time spent building deeper relationships with adults who care personally about them and the work they're doing directly in their community.

If you're looking to make a change this year and find ways to use your time to make a significant impact in your community, consider joining the Young Life committee. Your strengths and gifting could help sustain our current work, jumpstart the next community, manage the budget and raise more support, so our leaders can spend more time getting plugged into your community and building meaningful friendships with kids who desperately need to know and experience the love of Jesus. Please reach out to a local staff person or committee member you know if you'd like to learn more!
