PSA: Service Adventure unit leaders aren’t house parents! 👪

Thursday, October 24, 2024

Live out your faith.

Mentor young adults.

Nurture grassroots community.

Cooking, cleaning and house activities are shared among everyone in the unit. 

For unit leaders, their goal is to mentor the participants living with them in the unit house; helping them learn how to live in community, together.

There is no 'typical' Service Adventure leader. Across the program's 30+ year history, Service Adventure has welcomed leaders ages 24 through retirement. Individuals and married couples. Introverts and extroverts. The one common element leaders share is a desire to guide young adults through household community, together with a local supporting church.

Leaders live in or near a household of three to five Service Adventure participants. Service Adventure participant terms are 10 months. Unit leader terms are two years in length and may be extended.
