Student Leadership Project
We are looking for additional two males to join us and serve as leaders for Young Life’s Student Leadership Program, June 18-29. We bring 30 diverse HS students together to help them grow in spiritual formation, servant leadership, cultural awareness, and to explore their calling. We visit Grand Rapids (Calvin) and Chicago (stay at NPU) with activities, service projects, and classroom teaching. It’s an incredible program with some really awesome students and 10 diverse leaders. Great opportunity to grow in ministry, discipleship and leadership.
