Overview
A COMMUNITY WHERE HOPE BURNS BRIGHTER
Field Ministry Worker
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.
Youth Unlimited is a chapter of Youth for Christ Canada, which is an international organization. Here within and around the city of Calgary, our team is working with thousands of young people. Day by day, we are changing lives and we invite you to consider this incredible opportunity to join us.
We envision that young people in the Greater Calgary Area, as they experience God, His love, His truth and His life changing power, will be transformed and will be a redemptive presence in our city and beyond.
We are seeking candidates to join our StreetLight ministry, which is a mobile drop in centre for homeless youth. Our StreetLight program aims to reach youth who are living on the streets or who are involved in human trafficking through mobile drop-in centres in Bowness and in the downtown core, as well as through two 24/7 crisis lines. The program provides a safe environment for these vulnerable youth and facilitates mentorship relationships to help them make positive life changes.
We are always looking to build our ministry team so if you are looking to join an organization that is passionate about transformed youth and transforming our city, you’ve come to the right place!
Consider joining the Youth Unlimited team as a Christian ministry youth worker as we serve and engage young people and their communities in meaningful ways.
To achieve our mission of helping youth attain their full life potential, Youth Unlimited is dependent on the financial support of the community. This means that all of our staff diligently work towards ministry partner development. Which in short, means that all our ministry staff fundraise 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.
