WHAT'S A YOUNG LIFE LEADER? This video says it best.
(LEX)
Lexi Hayob, Area Director, has been a Young Life leader for 13 years in various places and serves on the Winter Park High School team, where her focus is the senior class. Lexi oversees the recruiting & training of volunteers, community engagement, as well as the local Board and operating budget. One of her favorite memories here is getting locked out of the warehouse one Monday night last year and resulting to hosting 'Love Club' in the parking lot. Lexi loves college football, karaoke, and watching early 2000s sitcoms on Disney+.

Stephenie King is back in town! She is our WyldLife Director and oversees all three middle school ministries in Heart of Orlando. After serving for two years in Bradenton, Stephenie and her husband Beaman recently moved back to her hometown. She's excited to lead at Winter Park WyldLife while also starting a new WL Club at Lake Highland. This is her 10th year as a leader... and 7 of those years were spent here in College Park. One of her favorite memories here is taking students to the Tennessee mountains in a 12-passenger van! You can usually find Stephenie at Trader Joe's, listening to podcasts, or walking her 5-lb-dog Pepper.

College Park WyldLife
@collegeparkwyldlife
College Park WyldLife reaches primarily Howard Middle School, but is open to College Park Middle School students as well as surrounding private schools. This group meets twice a month for "Club", our large co-ed gatherings where kids will enjoy a themed night of music, games, prizes, fellowship, and a message from the Gospels. These events are hosted at 644 W Princeton St.
Small groups (known to us as "Campaigners") are also twice a month on the off-weeks of Club. These are by gender and grade at various locations/times based on leader availability. This is a great place for asking questions about faith and going deeper with questions about Jesus.
