Our Team

Mission Trip Setup, Hiring, and Training Team

Mission Trip Associates (MTAs) on this team develop and nurture relationships in our communities. Logistically they handle the setup of our housing, service day and evening activities; however, it is our community partners that provide us the direction we need in order to help churches serve effectively. MTAs also are on the Hiring Team, working to interview, hire and place summer staff in communities.

The other half of this team designs all of the name tags, meals, devotion journals, evening programming, Trip Leader resources and everything else that happens as a part of the YouthWorks program. They also write and facilitate the onboarding and training for our summer staff.

Mobilization Team

Our Mobilization Team equips, encourages, and supports youth leaders and participants serving on mission trips and recruits young leaders to join our Summer Staff team. The Marketing Team communicates the benefits of a ministry partnership with YouthWorks. Our Customer Engagement Team learns about a youth leader’s vision for incorporating a mission trip into the year-long discipleship of their students. Then, they’ll help them find the right community and experience for their group. Our Recruiting Team  seeks college-aged leaders who embody the values of YouthWorks to join our Summer Staff team and facilitate youth mission trips.

Our YWx team mobilizes groups of all ages on custom year-round mission trips in 25+ communities across the US.

Border Perspective

Border Perspective serves families on the U.S. and Mexico border by equipping leaders, advocating for biblical justice, and mobilizing the church on service-learning trips along the South Texas border.

Finance Team

Inside the heart, mind, and soul of YouthWorks lives the Finance team. They help determine how financial resources are spent and raised while ensuring that our organization can maintain long-term sustainability with continued financial and organizational success.
