AS A STAND-ALONE MINISTRY
If a YoungLives ministry starts where there is no existing Young Life, it is a stand-alone ministry.
The YoungLives coordinator in a stand-alone ministry follows the YoungLives Area Director job
description, completes additional training recommended for YoungLives Area Directors, and
reports directly to the Young Life Regional Director or assigned Associate Regional Director.
Some of the responsibilities of a YoungLives coordinator in a stand-alone ministry include:
Committee
Recruit and retain an active YoungLives committee.
Regularly communicate and partner with the committee to carry out the work of the area.
Financial Management and Donor Development
Complete and manage the annual budget.
Partner with the committee to secure and raise the area budget and oversee the finances.
Administration
Update ministry information in Core Ministry Counts.
Meet all area requirements as determined by the regional director.
This model is much more time-intensive for the coordinator and requires more training and
guidance before starting.
