“I dare you, whoever you are, to share with others the fruits of your daring. Catch a passion for helping others, and a richer life will come back to you.” – William H. Danforth

It’s that time of year again when Miniwanca and Merrowvista are especially quiet. The Community and School Programs Teams finished up their fall seasons last program of 2019 a little over a month ago and a layer of snow has blanketed the ground. Although Merrowvista and Miniwanca are beautiful in any season, we’re ready for them to be filled with people again! That’s why we are now on the search for interesting, interested adults who have a passion for helping others, and who want to come dedicate their time to enriching the lives of youth this spring and summer.

Do you want to use your skills to make a positive difference in the world? Learn more about how to be the best version of yourself? Work towards building a positive community made up of people with widely varying perspectives and life experiences? If yes, please consider joining us.

Not sure how your skills or interests apply to this work? Here at the AYF, we are seeking to create an exceptional experience for all members of our community. To create that experience, we have dedicated adults who share their wide range of passions and skills, including working directly with kids in a cabin, woodworking, preparing delicious and nutritious meals, maintaining our grounds, sailing, ensuring that transportation runs smoothly, organizing the office, and more. If you have a passion for working with youth or serving others, there is a place for you here. As one of our founders, William H. Danforth said, “Deep down in every heart is the desire to be somebody, to get somewhere. But so often we sit waiting for the opportunity. I have found opportunities do not come to those who wait.” Don’t wait. Seize the opportunity and apply today at ayf.com/jobs
