Description


Ministry is calling!


If you want to join a team that is passionate about transformed youth transforming our city, you’ve come to the right place!

Consider joining the Youth Unlimited team as a ministry youth worker as we serve and engage young people and their communities in meaningful ways.


STREETLIGHT

A COMMUNITY WHERE HOPE BURNS BRIGHTER


StreetLight is seeking a passionate leader with a vibrant Christian faith to join our street outreach.

StreetLight is a program that provides outreach to Calgary’s street, exploited, and at-risk youth. StreetLight brings hope to Calgary’s young homeless and at-risk population with its mobile drop-in centre, which provides physical resources, warm meals, and a safe space away from the pressure of the streets. We seek to optimize a coordinated response to youth needs by partnering with like-minded agencies and facilitating the involvement of the Christian community in reaching young people.

The objective is to break the cycle of homelessness and abuse by helping youth exit the street through personal, one-on-one intervention between these youth and our team of volunteer and employee outreach workers. 


Things we are looking for in an applicant:

Please read the following thoroughly and carefully.

  • a deep, growing, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ
  • a genuine desire to see people's lives changed
  • flexibility to serve in whatever way God calls you
  • a professional approach and demeanor
  • an ability to communicate and actively listen well
  • an ability to create and maintain ministry partners that will fund 100% of your salary needs*
  • a proactive self-starter with the ability to follow through
  • a desire to be a part of and work with a team
  • good organizational skills and management skills
  • an ability to see the hope and potential in every young person
  • the desire to help in the transformation of young people's lives and encouraging them to, in turn, transform their community.

*Ministry Partner Development
Being a Youth Unlimited ministry worker requires Ministry Partner Development (which in short, means that all our ministry staff fundraises their own salary and the majority of this is done prior to the applicant’s date of hire). The successful candidate will have the privilege to build a partnership team, which provides financial and prayer support for the ministry. The financial support will cover the costs of the candidate's salary and ministry expenses. We believe that Ministry Partner Development is biblical and God will provide everything necessary to fulfill the calling into ministry: finances, emotional strength, and perseverance.  Building a ministry partnership team is an integral part of being in ministry. There are many opportunities to bless and encourage the partnership team. We are committed to providing training and coaching that assists you in the success of your Ministry Partner Development.
