What are the responsibilities and job description for the Training Coordinator position at LifeWise Academy Support Center?
About Us
Did you know 8 in 10 American youth don't attend church but 9 in 10 attend public school? LifeWise Academy (lifewise.org) exists to reach the unchurched students in America's public schools with the Gospel.
LifeWise Academy is a released time religious instruction program that allows kids to leave public school DURING the school day to receive Bible/gospel education. Released time is legal provided the programs are off school property, privately funded and parent permitted.
Very few people know this is possible. In fact, most members of our organization hadn't heard of this concept until just a few years ago. But in reality, released time has been around for over 100 years and has been upheld by the supreme court as constitutional. Many states even have laws allowing high school students to receive school credit for released time classes!
We believe released time is the greatest missed opportunity of the church in America to reach the next generation. But we want to change that and we need your help!
About You
You love Jesus. You love kids. Improvement is your middle name.
As a Training Coordinator, you love to see individuals and organizations grow, develop and perform with excellence. You love the process of collaborating, researching and brainstorming to produce materials that will lead to confident and successful employees. Communication and project management are strengths you possess in spades.
Most importantly, you know this isn't just your career. It's a chance to do something meaningful. A chance to serve others. And a chance to make a life-changing impact on students with the Gospel.
