Description:
Yuma presents an exciting opportunity to grow the footprint of Young Life ministry in southwestern Arizona. This diverse community is looking to continue its reach to students in this town straddling the border between Arizona and California. Several years ago there was thriving Young Life ministry and community but since the AD moved out of state we have not had ministry there. The area is in a rural part of the state and in need of an experienced person with the ability to connect well with kids and adults and a desire to form an adult committee and re-launch ministry.
The Yuma Area Director would be a part of a warm welcoming thriving AZ/NM Region community with monthly staff meetings in Phoenix throughout the school year. Due to the geographic distance from Phoenix the AD would need to be a self-starter although support and training are readily available.
Yuma is a great place to live! Home to the most sunshine of any city in the U.S. Yuma is a thriving agricultural town (third largest vegetable producer in the nation) on the Colorado River. Just 60 miles from the Gulf of California there is a variety of interesting things to do in and around Yuma. Home to the Marine Corps Training Ground a 250-acre sand dune recreational area called the Algodones Dunes whereStar Warswas filmed Colorado River beaches and tubing a hot air balloon festival a rich Old West history including the1875 Yuma Territorial Prison authentic Mexican food and just two hours from Coachella.
