Team Leader of Student Outreach

Job Description

St. Peter Chanel exists to see people Fully Alive, Rooted in Christ, Reflecting His Love and Mercy. The Team Leader of Student Outreach helps bring this vision to life for middle school, high school, and college students by building a ministry rooted in prayer, relationships, discipleship, and mission. This person has a passion and desire to see the next generation thrive in their God-given identity.

This role is not simply about running programs. It is about building a parish-wide culture of care for young people by recruiting, forming, and supporting adult volunteers who can walk with students, build trust with families, and help young people encounter Jesus and find their place in the life of the Church.

The right person will genuinely love young people, listen well, and be willing to adjust ministry approaches based on what is bearing fruit and adapting approaches to the ever changing culture around us. This person should be comfortable learning from current research, asking good questions, and building relationships with parents, parish leaders, schools, nonprofits, and other organizations serving young people.

The ideal candidate is prayerful, humble, relational, organized, creative, and steady; someone who can connect easily with young people while earning the trust of parents, volunteers, clergy, and parish staff. We are looking for someone willing to build, rebuild, listen, adapt, and lead while continually pointing young people toward Jesus Christ and the life of the Church.

What Success Looks Like:
Success will be measured less by how many events the Team Leader runs and more by the health of the ministry culture being built.
• Keeps prayer at the center of planning, decision-making, and ministry with young people.
• Build and sustain a strong team of adult volunteers equipped for relational ministry.
• Help students belong, encounter Christ, grow in faith, uncover charisms and find their place in the mission of the church
• Support and supervise the Coordinator of Student Outreach - so that all age groups have alignment in mindset and approach
• Partner with parents as the primary witnesses and formators of faith in the home.
• Create clear pathways for youth discipleship and fostering youth leadership
• Build meaningful relationships with local schools, nonprofits, Catholic leaders, and youth-serving organizations.
• Host seasonal opportunities for college students during breaks so they remain connected to the parish and to one another.
• Help the parish continually evaluate what is working, what needs to change, and where the Holy Spirit may be leading next
