Life Teen is the largest Catholic youth ministry organization in the US (and maybe the world). During the summers, teens travel across the country to have their lives wrecked by Jesus at summer camps facilitated by college students like yourself. More than that, serving at camp gives Jesus a chance to also wreck your life - all in the best way possible, of course. our campus minister, Alex, spent two summers at camp after her sophomore and junior years. That first summer totally changed the direction of her life, and now she get to be your campus minister and serve Jesus all the time! You never know what might happen!
"Each year we recruit young adult Catholics who want to inspire youth through retreats. We invest in these young adults through one-on-one mentorship, formation, and spiritual direction. We do not require any fundraising, and provide food, lodging, a monthly allowance, and a $3,000 completion stipend. They grow in their relationship with our Lord through two rich hours of prayer daily including Mass, Liturgy of the Hours, and a Holy Hour.
The University of Notre Dame in IN offers two programs for those wanting to serve the church.
