Special Offerings

• Confirmation - a one on one mentor program designed to teach the youth about a relationship with Christ, and to acclimate them into the Episcopal Church. This program is offered every other year to our 7th and 8th graders; however, exceptions are made for high school students that may not have been able to participate during those years.

• Mission & Service Trips - involves mission and service locally and abroad working with organizations like Mexico Mission, Atlantic Bridge, Habitat for Humanity, the Food Cupboard, etc… Going to places like Germany, Hungary, Mexico, the Gulf Coast, and many more.

• Youth Babysitting - a way for the youth to serve, get to know the younger kids, and to raise money for trips. 
  

• Quarterly Road Trips - fun outings that include going out to eat, films, progressive dinners, ski trips, rock climbing, etc.
  

Jackson Hole Youth Alliance
All the area youth ministries get together for quarterly activities or trips that unite all the youth ministries in Jackson and beyond, includes an annual ski retreat.

• Contact Work - For a Young Life leader, the arena of ministry is any place where a teenager might be found: the school lunchroom, the athletic fields, the mall. Like Jesus did, leaders meet kids in their own world and model unconditional love in a culture that often values style over substance.

• Club - The most common descriptor of Young Life club is, "You have to see it to really understand it." The ingredients are lively singing, off-kilter games and skits and the simple proclamation of Jesus Christ's love. The result is a safe place where teenagers can drop their masks and possibly consider God's design for their lives.

• Campaigners - Picture a Young Life leader and a small group of teenagers, gathered on a living room floor, discussing the lessons of the Bible and how it applies to their lives. This is Campaigners, the place where kids who have been touched by the message of Jesus grow their spiritual roots and learn what it means to follow Him.
  

• Camp - Every year, Young Life leaders invite teenagers to camp by promising them "the best week of their lives." And Young Life's 21 camps deliver - with excellent facilities and food, creative programming and high-adventure activities. Throughout the week teenagers also hear about God's love for them presented in ways they can relate to. As some 75,000 high schools and middle schoolers a year can testify, no one does camping like Young Life.

• Youth Parent Committee - A group of middle and high school parents that will meet with the youth director 5 times a year (or as needed) to discuss the effectiveness of the program from a parents' perspective. Minimum requirement of service is to be present and participate in at least 4 of the meetings during one school year. People involved are welcome to rotate off this committee after the four meetings or might be asked to stay on for multiple years.
  

• Special Planning Teams - people who are interested in making the behind the scenes preparations for special events (For example planning mission trips, retreats, or progressive dinners). These people will meet whenever the need arises.
  

• Teachers - are you a gifted teacher? Do you have specific interests that would aid in nurturing our youths spiritual walks? Teachers would most likely do their thing during Sunday Morning Youth; however, leading a discussion at other meetings may be a possibility. The time commitment depends on what and how long you would want to teach. Say you wanted to teach a one month, 4 part lesson; I'd ask that you make that four week commitment.
  

• Youth Sponsors - people that actually come to the non Sunday meetings, help plan and lead the activities, build relationships, and share faith with our students. Time commitment is one school year as it takes a while to build strong relationships. Contact work outside of the meetings may be a part of this.
  

• Confirmation Sponsors - adults who are interested in a one-on-one mentoring relationship with a student for confirmation. Minimum commitment is 12-15 meetings
