PAID SUMMER MISSIONS LEADERSHIP POSITION: Service Ministry Leaders (SMLs) are passionate about living out their Christian faith, building relationships with others, and leading teams of volunteers. They help oversee youth and adults on the home repair worksites and during scheduled programming for the 10 weeks of Summer Mission Outreach. Other responsibilities include: leading devotionals and activities; participating in worship; assisting with Hinton’s daily campus operations; and building covenant relationships with other staff, volunteers, and neighbors. The SML position is a paid summer position through Hinton Center’s summer mission outreach program, a person-first ministry that provides safe and healthy home repairs for community members who are low income, older adults, and/or living with a disability. Programming is centered around encouraging volunteers to consider their perspective and approach to serving. The position is fun and rewarding, but also emotionally and physically demanding. The work week is Sunday afternoon through Thursday evening.

We’re looking for college-age individuals with leadership capability and a desire to grow in those skills. Unlike a traditional camp counselor role, the SML position entails more than engaging in activities with youth. It is coming alongside them to encourage, equip, and educate. (Each group comes with adults who are responsible for their youth.) SMLs are required to live on campus, in separate accommodations from the mission teams, generally with roommates. Housing and most meals are provided. For more details, including requirements and responsibilities, click HERE.
