Special EVENTS
Want to Serve With Your Leader?
If you are in high school or middle school and are interested in serving alongside your leader, here are some of the opportunities that we have in our area: Capernaum, WyldLife, Food on Foot , & Work Crew.
CAPERNAUM
Capernaum is Young Life's ministry for kids with disabilities. Are you a high school student in the area interested in joining in on the fun with us? We call that a “buddy” and it’s like peer tutoring…BUT FOR YOUNG LIFE!
Fill out the interest form below and we will contact you to tell you what it is all about!
WYLDLIFE
WyldLife is Young Life's ministry for middle school students. We are starting new WyldLife Clubs in our area!
Interested in being a part of it and helping lead middle school students, fill out the interest form!
FOOD ON FOOT
Food on Foot provides food, toiletries, and backpacks filled with school supplies to underprivileged in the Tennessee Lakeway Area. Food on Foot delivers approximately 5,000 food bags every month to Lakeway area elementary schools for distribution.
One day a month, Young Life volunteers with Food on Foot to help fill food bags for students. These food bags are given to needy children that would otherwise go hungry on the weekend. If you are interested in helping us one month, fill out the form below.
WORK CREW
For high school students involved with Young Life, Work Crew is a great experience with peers, involving hard work and a chance to grow in your faith. The work crew serves in a variety of ways like dining hall servers, grounds crew and housekeepers.
Every year, we go and serve at a Young Life camp one weekend in the fall, BUT there are also opportunities to serve as a month-long volunteer every summer! Fill out the work crew interest form below, and we will get in touch with you about upcoming opportunities for you.
