Year-Long InternshipS

Windy Gap’s Year-Long Intern program is a challenging and rewarding year! The program is a life-changing experience that is designed for those who are deeply committed to Christ and have a desire to join the Windy Gap Staff in providing an environment where volunteers and kids can experience Christ. Our goal for the year is that Year-Long Interns would grow in an intimate, abiding relationship with Jesus Christ, work hard to support the ministry at Windy Gap, and gain a solid understanding of Young Life Camp Staff. 

As an employee of Young Life you will be provided with medical, dental and vision benefits. You will also be accountable for fundraising a portion of your salary.

Requirements

  • A desire to serve others and grow in Christ-likeness as well as a willingness to work hard in multiple camp departments and an interest in Young Life Camping.
  • Currently active in Young Life or another Christian ministry.
  • At least 2 years out of high school.
  • Willingness to raise part of your salary.

If you have questions, please call the Windy Gap office (828-645-7187).
