Young Life Grand Forks is looking for a mission-minded leader who loves Jesus, loves students, and wants to build something that lasts in a university-centered community. Grand Forks is a vibrant college town anchored by the University of North Dakota, where thousands of middle school, high school, and college students are searching for belonging, purpose, and truth. This is a place where relational ministry matters and leaders can quickly become deeply connected in schools, athletics, arts, and campus life.
