In 2021 God showed me that this passion for working with youth could be a full<br \/>\ntime position. My wife and I moved to Winnipeg in 2021, and it was at this time that I started to<br \/>\npursue what God had put on my heart. Soon after I discovered YFC and after lots of prayer<br \/>\nfollowed by affirmation, I started with the Work Force team at YFC. I am very thankful for the<br \/>\nprivilege to be able to serve in this position.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you do at YFC?<\/strong><br \/>\nI am part of the Work Force team, my position is the \u201cJob Studio\u201d coordinator. Job Studio is an<br \/>\nemployment skills training program for youth and young adults (ages 16 &#8211; 20). I help the youth<br \/>\nnavigate the transition into the working world and adult life. The program focuses on developing<br \/>\nskills such as resume writing, how to search and find a job, handling the interview process, and<br \/>\ndealing with practical everyday skills such as budgeting, working together, dealing with stress,<br \/>\nconflict, etc. After completing the program we help youth to use their new skills to find jobs.<br \/>\nJob Studio is designed to meet the youth at their level by building relationships and walking with<br \/>\nthem through the process of obtaining a job. Each youth gets access to a mentor they meet with<br \/>\nthroughout the program and as they obtain a job to ensure they are supported through the ups<br \/>\nand downs of employment. This provides a great opportunity to demonstrate the love of Jesus,<br \/>\nwalking alongside and supporting the youth through relationship. We incorporate opportunities<br \/>\nwithin Job Studio to invite the youth to learn more about God and His plans for them, and we<br \/>\noffer guidance and discipleship as they begin their faith journeys.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Any other ministries or interesting hobbies you are involved in?<\/strong><br \/>\nI enjoy playing sports of all kinds, especially basketball and soccer. One of my favorite things to<br \/>\ndo is adventuring outdoors with my wife, Janine. We love to go hiking, backpacking and<br \/>\ncamping.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your family<\/strong><br \/>\nJanine, my wife.
