Looking for a Dream Job? This Could Be It!

We invite kids to follow Christ, care for them regardless of their response and change lives in the process. We are looking for someone to lead the charge of this mission to kids in Livermore, Calif.

Why Young Life?

For more than 80 years, Young Life has established a beautiful and fruitful approach to reaching kids with the good news of Jesus. Our approach works globally as Young Life ministry is happening in more than 100 nations. We practice incarnational ministry wherever we go — being the hands and feet of Jesus to a community of teenagers. Are you passionate about Jesus and making Him known to the next generation of kids? Then this job could be for you!

Why Young Life Tri-Valley?

Young Life has a rich tradition in the Tri-Valley area going back to the 1980’s. Livermore, Pleasanton and Dublin are some of the most beautiful (and convenient) locations to live in the San Francisco (SF) Bay area and even in all of California. It is a sophisticated, upscale suburban area 36 miles east of SF. The area features opportunities for every interest, incredible hiking and scenery, wine country and top-ranked public schools in the State of California.

Young Life in the Tri-Valley is part of the San Francisco Bay Region where we have an ethnically and generationally diverse staff, many of whom have been involved in Young Life in the Bay Area for 20+ years. Our staff team in the SF Bay Region is second to none. Doing ministry in the most unchurched area in the U.S. is challenging. But our team is all in — for Christ, for each other and for the world of kids who live right here in the Bay Area. We are 100% committed to growing staff and volunteer teams that reflect the communities we serve. We have a lot of fun together and genuinely care for each other. It’s an amazing staff team.
