YoungLife Belarus
  Belarus time:      

Committee Member
Effective committees are the lifeline for Young Life in the local area. Young Life begins in new areas because of adults - because of their love for the Lord, their love for unchurched young people and their commitment to Young Life's vision.

Young Life is sustained by adults serving on the local committee. They meet monthly and they are unseen and unknown to most of the young people they serve, but these people - that is, you - are the foundation for successful ministry in Young Life communities. Your task is to actively support your area through the empowering of staff, and strategy of caring for donors and supporters.

 

Adventure Challenge | more information |
Commencing 2008, Young Life Belarus is set to establish a fundraising adventure challenge. In 2008 a group of 15-25 adults will take a trip to Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea to hike the Kokoda pass. This 90 km adventure trek will test everyone's abilities and fitness while satisfying the senses by experiencing the local sights, sounds, food and culture. Your soul will be satisfied as well as you know you are fundraising for Young Life Belarus.

Invite family, friends and work colleagues to sponsor your adventure hike all in the name of a good cause. They can sponsor per kilometer or for the whole trip.

Tentative date: 1st to 10th June, 2008

 

CiaB advocate
We are looking for volunteers who can take Christmas in a Box into their schools, offices, church and social groups. The local advocate is the contact person for their group setting, answering questions, announcing collection points and times, and organises the pick up or delivery of Christmas boxes to the drop-off centre. The local advocate looks to promote Christmas in a Box in their setting. It will be as simple as making several calls a month, and sending out material. Then in October, join in the fun of helping to sort through the boxes for shipment to Belarus.

 

Short-Term experience
Want to take a year out to change your world and someone else's? Come to Belarus for a short-term stint. We are looking for college age youth or a young family to come to Belarus for 1-3 years to help expand the work of Young Life in Belarus.

You will need to connect with Young Life in your community to understand the mission and vision of Young Life before commencing your trip to Belarus, after that, "Belarus is your oyster".

 

Fundraising Dinner
In 2008 will host our first annual fundraising dinner. The night is set to be full of fun and information, not to mention a challenge. Come along and enjoy a meal with your friends while hearing how Young Life is making an impact in Belarus among teenagers or get involved by being a table host and inviting a table (up to 10) of your close friends as your way to see Young Life reach more kids.
