Ways to Serve
- Volunteer leader: You don’t have to have military experience to serve as a volunteer leader in Military Young Life. All that is needed to be a leader is a strong commitment to loving a group of kids for whom change is the only constant. Half the work is in showing up. Military brats want to know that you’ll stick around.
- Committee: Another way to serve is on the local committee — a group of adults who work to maintain support for the ministry in their community through prayer, promotion and making sure that the ministry’s financial needs are met.
- Donor: Although the military does supply some financial assistance, Military Young Life is always grateful for the donors who serve through their charitable gifts. Find out more about ways to give.
