Our highest goals for your time with us are that you gain a greater sense of who God is and who you are in Him. We believe that as Christians our life is our ministry. God will call some to vocational ministry, others to the marketplace, and others to work in the home. Our objective is to help you explore where God is calling you to live His love out to others, and to equip you for a life of ministry. You will have the opportunity to learn and grow in both a classroom and hands on work environment in the following areas:

•Personal Discovery and Development: Receive mentorship, serve others, live in community, examine your gifts and personality traits, step into various leadership positions, and press further into who God has created you to be.
•Bible and Ministry Training: Dig more deeply into God’s written Word, take time to be still and hear God’s voice, explore your heart for ministry, and take a closer look at your personal experience with Jesus as your savior and how to share Him with others.
•Wilderness Skills Training: You will be trained and equipped to serve as a guide in the areas of: white water rafting and kayaking, rock climbing, backcountry travel (winter and summer), challenge course, and horsemanship.
•Opportunities to minister: Most will be as staff on our wilderness trips, carrying out the ministry content as well as guiding. You will also host retreat groups and serve at ministry wide events.
•Operations: Learn about and help operate an adventure and retreat based ministry through office administration, food provisioning, equipment repair, and facility projects.

Requirements:
•A love for God and a passion to see others come to know Him fully.
•An attitude of service to others and a willingness to carry it out in a variety of ways.
•A desire to live and work in community and invest in relationships.
•A willingness to be challenged in an intensive learning environment.
•An agreement to be held accountable, and to give healthy and honest feedback when necessary.

Financial details: We have found it helpful to approach this in the same way they would approach a short-term mission trip. All our staff raise funds from individuals who believe in this unique ministry and are willing to give financially. YD will provide training and resources to equip you for fundraising. Grant monies are available to subsidize costs on a yearly basis.

The next step: The internship runs from mid-September through mid-August annually. In order to have adequate time to raise your financial support we recommend sending your application in by April 1; the final deadline is May 15.

We are now hiring for Summer Staff! Each summer YD Adventures hires a select number of talented young adults from all over the world to lead adventure trips for teens in Washington, Idaho and Oregon. The Summer Staff ministry team is an integral part of YD Adventures, which is committed to reaching today’s youth through dynamic relationships and challenging experiences.

YD Adventures uses powerful adventure-based ministry to share Christ with teens and deepen their understanding of God. We challenge teens by taking them to the edge: dropping them into a rappel or rafting them through Class III/IV rapids. By experiencing these incredible challenges in God’s creation, teens are able to “unplug” from their day–to–day lives and experience God in ways they never have before.

As a member of the Summer Staff team, you will guide teens on a variety of wilderness activities: whitewater rafting, rockclimbing, backpacking, challenge courses, horseback riding, kayaking, and many more. You will work alongside the YDA Staff to design the ministry program for each trip and assist in the preparations and logistical operations of the trips. Beyond serving others, you will also be challenged in your own faith as you work in Christian service with a team of believers and experience your own “edge” moments.

Staffing opportunities are available at three unique bases of operation (Washington, Idaho, and Oregon). Each base has a unique focus of ministry united by the same heart to share Christ with teens. If you connect with the heart of YD’s ministry, please submit the application on the right-side of this page, and we’ll contact you. To learn more, contact Shane Land: 1-800-697-3847 or sland@yd.org.
