.GBX. – A 4 Month Leadership and Discipleship Program
We have something SUPER EXCITING coming your way in the new year! We are beyond thrilled to announce that in January 2021 we will be officially launching a 4 month discipleship and leadership program called “GBX”.
GBX is a 4 month program, running from January 4th to April 30th 2020, designed to help young adults gain valuable paid work experience in the camping industry, build community, dive deeper in their faith, develop leadership skills and gain a greater understanding of how they are wired and what their giftings are. The Program will focus specifically on Faith Formation, Leadership Development, Community Engagement, and Service, all through the experience of working and serving alongside the Green Bay Full Time Staff Team. Participants will receive full time pay for 8 of the 16 weeks in the program and will be required to have 35hrs of time to commit to the program in a 7 day week.
We recognize that in these new and changing times University and College students are missing out on the opportunity for community living. With Churches unable to gather and schools unable to offer that point of connection we have students across our country searching for relationships, encouragement, work, support and deep care. GBX is designed to meet all those needs. It’s a program that seeks to partner with students as they engage in online learning or as they take a step away from their studies this year to work or experience something new.
