Sitka Young Life has a group of amazing leaders who have been the âboots on the groundâ during these times. Currently, seven of our dynamic leaders are employed full-time in one of the two local school districts teaching, mentoring, coaching, and advising. There is even one leader working at the community teen center. Our leaders are engaged and amazing. Together we are a strong team.Â
Overall, things here in Sitka are progressing and we are meeting again weekly with kids. As of now, due to mitigation plans, we are hosting separate gatherings for students of the two school districts. On the Sitka side of the bridge, we are having game nights and multi-church Bible studies using the Alpha curriculum. Since Mt. Edgecumbe kids havenât been able to leave the school while the COVID risk level is on high, we have been given permission to host Young Life club and Bible study campaigners on campus. SLY is back on the ground running and it feels good. Thank you for being a part of the team. Let us know if you have an interest in being a leader.
Tomorrow, we will have a chance to share the exciting ways that SYL has been partnering with local churches to reach teens and encourage them in their faith.
