ORIENTATION INFORMATION

Lifestyle Choices – As a Student Leader, you are representing Young Life and more importantly, Jesus,
to your peers, younger kids, your family, and the community as a whole. We are also striving to follow
Jesus and there are some things to avoid which we have identified as particularly harmful to your
reputation and walk with Christ. As a student leader you may not use any illegal substances, including
alcohol. You will also be asked to abstain from any sexual immorality. If you have questions as to what
is and is not acceptable, ask first.

Grace First Policy – Regarding the Life Style Choices section above, if Young Life finds out that you have
violated the Student Leadership Agreement and we have to come to you about it, you will be asked to
stop participating in Student Leadership. If however you come to us first, you will be given grace and a
second chance and are welcome to stay in the program.

Attendance – An important part of Student Leadership is the sense of community that will develop
among all of us this year. It is therefore vital that we make the SL times a priority. You can miss one SL
meeting this fall/winter/spring, but you must meet with Danielle at another time to discuss what you
missed before the next SL. If you have a good reason to miss more than one SL we must approve it in
advance.

Personal Growth – As for anyone who is in leadership it is important to be committed to your own
personal growth in your relationship with Jesus. We encourage all student leaders to regularly attend
a weekly campaigners group or bible study/ small group. We also encourage involvement in a local
church and Sunday church attendance.

Cost – There will be a $25 fee for participating in Student Leadership this year. This small fee will cover
lunches during the meeting times as well as any materials. This $25 should be paid at the time of
application.

Student Leadership Materials – If you decide to participate in Student Leadership you will receive all
the needed materials. In addition, you will be given a Bible if you don’t already have one. You will be
required to bring your journal/notebook, SL Book and your Bible to every SL meeting.

Student Leadership Communication – In order to communicate effectively with you and to facilitate
our encouragement to each other, we’ll heavily use a facebook goup so be diligent to check and
respond to messages. This will hopefully serve as a great way to keep each other accountable and to
post reminders about what we’re all working on.
