Youth Work

Sharing about anxiety and peace What does it look like to be a Youth Worker? It looks like walking the hallways of a high school and connecting with students throughout the ups and downs of their day. It looks like attending an awesome early morning breakfast club for youth who do not get fed breakfast or families who can’t afford a strong meal for their kids to start off the day. It may look like hanging out and serving bagels, but it means having the opportunity to interact with hundreds of students each week. It means that these youth have a familiar face to connect with and, as we build trust, I may be that someone who can walk alongside them through the hard times. It looks like joining the humanitarian club at the school, to help interact with youth about issues facing our world and to work alongside them to help make positive changes as we give back to the community. It looks like leading new projects. In September, I began leading our new Student Life initiative.
