Our youth workers are Local Heros. They are big hearted people who make big commitments.
We expect our youth workers to live a lifestyle of leadership to young not just to do a job. We ask for a three to five year commitment from each youth worker. We look for people with impeccable character, proven ability with young and volunteer involvement.
Youth Workers work 10 paid hours per week in school and 10 voluntary hours per week with the church youth community. The table below is an illustration of what a given week might look like.

The activities of different workers may vary greatly. Different sports, cultural groups and activities have different schedules. Events like school balls, productions, training days and individual youth guidence can take up a lot of time. But overall a youth worker’s time should average 10 hours per week over the school term
