Job Specific Working Conditions

Lee County Young Life is seeking a full-time Staff Associate to solely lead a growing ministry in Central North Carolina. We are looking for an enthusiastic, self-motivated, creative leader who can build on a tremendous area with untapped potential for continued growth.

Ministry in Lee County began in 2018 as the vision of a young professional who had been impacted by Young Life herself. In just three short years, the area became financially healthy, developed a connected committee, recruited volunteer leaders, and achieved strong work in the high schools. In addition to a loyal donor base, several local churches also support and endorse the work of Young Life in the county. With a small number of schools in the area,Young Life in a small city like Sanford affords the possibility of building something that is ‘the best thing in town’.

Sanford, a “Well Centered” city, is located 30 minutes south of Raleigh and 30 minutes north of Pinehurst. It is two hours from the beach, two hours from the mountains, and within driving distance of four Young Life camps. Over the last several years, Sanford has seen tremendous growth as both the Triangle and Fort Liberty communities continue to "find" Sanford.
