Notes:

The Englewood community is a highly diverse pocket of the south Denver metro area. It is small but vibrant! The school district appreciates the ministry of Young Life and has allowed us to maintain a presence in the school for the last five years. We are looking for someone sensitive to the socioeconomic and racial diversity of the community who knows how Young Life can best serve their teens.

Our area serves two distinct communities: neighborhoods which feed into Littleton Public Schools (a suburban school district) and Englewood. We need some leadership willing to become embedded in the Englewood community.
