CSM City Host, CSM, Dana Point, California

				
 Description

If you are interested in youth ministry, you will have an extraordinary opportunity to observe and work with 
many youth workers and their groups over the course of your time with us. While facilitating groups in the city  
will be your primary responsibility, you will also be exposed to a wide variety of urban ministries and 
organizations. A CSM host helps to "bridge the gap" between suburban/rural people and city people. Part of the 
challenge of this position involves framing each activity so that the participants understand their role which is to 
serve the ministries and organizations in the city. City hosts also lead discussion/reflection sessions at the 
end of each day to help the participants begin to process their experiences.  As a CSM City Host you will be 
challenged in your walk with Jesus Christ, you will grow in your knowledge and understanding of the city and its 
people, you will learn how to work with all kinds of people in all sorts of situations and you will serve God 
in a tangible way.

 Requirements 

For three to seven/eight months beginning around Jan/Feb in Chicago, Washington DC, Houston, LA, New York 
City, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Toronto.

For three months beginning around May 20 in Chicago, Washington DC, Houston, LA, Nashville, New York City,

For three to eleven months beginning around October 1in LA and possibly Chicago, Washington DC and San

You will host groups during their time in the city by orienting them to the city and CSM rules and guidelines; 
framing each ministry site and activity; guiding them to each site and restaurant; and facilitating their 
entire schedule and leading evening discussions and debriefs to help them process their experiences.

City hosts are usually assigned to a group and then are responsible to remain with group during their entire 
trip (except for sleeping times).  A city host is a bridge between the culture of the groups (usually suburban 
and rural church youth groups) and the various cultures of the city.
