Overview

Welcome to New Staff Training!

We trust that the Lord will work through you in impactful ways as you answer His call. Whether you're just beginning your position or no longer feel quite "new" on staff, we hope this experience empowers you to:

slow down and be known by the Lord;
deepen your understanding of the Story of the Gospel of Jesus Christ;
grow in your understanding of how to proclaim the gospel to adolescents;
and build relationships across teams and contexts.

In your job, you will receive training on both the local and mission-wide levels. New Staff Training is a mission-wide learning experience. By participating in this experience, you will be introduced to people across the nation, who are embarking on the same exciting journey that you are. The fellowship and friendship that you will receive from your peers will greatly aid in your personal and professional growth in your years on staff.

Mark your calendar

The in-person intensive will be at Young Life's SharpTop Cove January 12-17, 2025.
New Staff Training is a hybrid course, which means there is an online component in addition to the in-person intensive. Assignment details and due dates can be located within the Learning Online course beginning on December 1. The online component of the course will run from December 1 - March 1 and includes pre and post work. Please review the Coursework section for more information.
You will be assigned into a small group, where you will meet before, during, and after the intensive. Times and dates outside of the intensive will be determined by your leader. Your small group is just as important as the in-person intensive, so please protect this time.
