Young Life committee members have four primary responsibilities: prayer, caring for staff and volunteers, promoting Young Life and financial support.
Local staff and volunteers desperately need prayer and support (meals, recreation, encouragement, etc.) in order for the ministry to thrive. The committee is the key component of this support structure.
Additionally, committee members take on the responsibility of promoting Young Life if their community and raising the local annual budget. This is accomplished mostly through relationships committee members have with people in the community. When committee members share their excitement for Young Life, their friends, co-workers and family are more motivated to contribute to the work of the area. Areas receive individual and corporate donations often as a result of these relationships and from events such as banquets and golf tournaments.
