Because of Young Life’s exclusive Christian purposes of evangelism and discipleship as set forth in its Articles of Incorporation and in these Bylaws, and to reflect what has always been and will continue to be the position of Young Life, specifically the Christian belief that each and every employee and volunteer of the corporation should minister as a servant of God with the primary responsibility of proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ and, as such, is an integral part of the Christian mission and ministry of the corporation,
Young Life shall only employ individuals or enlist volunteer leaders who: (a) profess a belief in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord; and (b) subscribe to the statements and policies required of all Young Life staff, including the Young Life Statement of Faith. Therefore, employees and volunteers of Young Life, during working and nonworking hours, shall: (i) be ready, willing and able to fulfill such ministry functions as may be required by the organization; (ii) refrain from conduct and statements that detract from the biblical standards taught and supported by Young Life, and (iii) abide by all policies and practices of Young Life including, without limitation, those related to religious belief or ministry activities.

All camps share a common purpose: creating an environment where Young Life staff bring Ch​rist to life by creatively​ presenting the complete gospel of Jesus Christ. Speaking clearly from the Scriptures, camp speakers introduce kids to the person of Christ, the nature of humanity, the work of Christ on the cross, the hope of the resurrection and the opportunity for reconciliation with God.

Young Life requires all​ employees to sign a Statement of Faith. We recommend you read this statement before applying​ for any position.

Job Specific Working Conditions:

As is true at every camp in the mission, serving at Woodleaf presents with both incredible benefits and unique challenges.  Located in the Plumas National Forest, Woodleaf is a remote and rural place and our staff have the opportunity to build community while both living and serving together.  Trips to town are an "event" not a daily part of life.  Although you can grab a jug of milk from the local Dollar General, the closest significant city is one hour away.  For those with families, this is a family venture as many of the amenities that people are often used to in larger cities are not immediately available.   Education options include public, charter, private, or homeschool options but most traditional options involve a lot of driving and many at Woodleaf have opted for charter school or homeschool options.  For those willing to make some unique lifestyle adjustments, living and working at Woodleaf is an amazing adventure.  The weather is fantastic overall. National parks, the coast, and large cities are only a day trip away (San Francisco, Yosemite, Sacramento, Lassen, Lake Tahoe, the Redwoods, etc.). 

Notes:

Young Life is a relational ministry. Staff must be able to convey a sense of Christ-like hospitality and concern for guests and staff. Responding to the unexpected needs of a guest in a prompt and professional manner is important. All staff members are expected to represent Young Life positively and professionally within the community and be able to work with and minister to the volunteer high school and college-age young people who attend our camp.
