Work Crew

IMG_3866.jpg
 
   Young Life's work occurs because volunteers make it happen.  Most Young Life leaders are volunteers serving the needs of adolescents, but all Workcrew and Summer Staff are volunteers!  High School and College age young people give up to four weeks in the summer to make sure others have the "best week of their life."  The crazy thing is, Workcrew and Summer Staff have an even better time than the campers!  Even though the work is hard, the spiritual and emotional growth that occurs lasts a lifetime.
 
   Hundreds of young people from Portland East Young Life have been changed because they served either at weekend camps or for an entire month during the summer, and this is your chance to join them!  We believe that Workcrew and Summer Staff provides one of the best places for personal growth.  Sign up; you won't regret it!
