Description:

Come be a part of the Young Life College team in Austin, Texas! For years, the University of Texas (UT) has been a ripe place for the Gospel to move forward. In addition to the University of Texas, the city of Austin has three other universities and only one of them has a Young Life presence among the student body. We are praying for a person to charge the hill at one of these other universities.

You'll have the opportunity to build your own team and cast the first nets, while still working in tandem with the college team at UT. Contact work is king, and we place a massive emphasis on uninterrupted time with students. If you are craving a job where you are encouraged and freed up to be with students, this role is for you.

On top of this opportunity comes the joy of living in one of the best cities in America. Austin is booming with growth and has an incredible culture of work and play. Known for its amazing food and live music, Austin is a destination for people across the world. Apple, Samsung, Tesla, Google and Facebook are all examples of the companies settling in Austin. In parallel, students from across the world and nation are flocking to get their degree- many of whom stay and work after graduating. The nations are in our backyard, and we want to reach them with the Gospel. Come be a part of the Young Life College team in Austin!
