High School: Work with us

The work of an Inter-Varsity high school staff worker is better understood if you look at the characteristics we value in our staff.

Are true Disciples of Christ and desire to see true discipleship in the lives of their students.
Are committed to our “Model” and find creative ways to both teach and enact it within our groups.
Love students and understand that they are young adults who need a compassionate, loving, informed adult to guide and teach them with respect to all issues of life.
Reach out to the churched as well as the unchurched students.
Contribute to the school needs by finding a place to use their personal talents or interests apart from the Inter-Varsity High School Ministry group.
Understand that they are guests in a school and are therefore subject to the rules and decisions of the school staff.
Understand that the “Gospel” in a holistic sense, is good news for the whole school – even those who may reject it. The key is Christians fully acting out the Christian life within the school community.
