Program and Outreach Coordinator

Description

Shiloh Adventures is in an exciting season of growth and development and we sense the wind of continued deeper expansion and transformation through this beautiful platform of outdoor adventure where we desire to Inspire, Equip and Launch the Next Generation of Leaders. We want to see young people discover their Identity (Who am I?), their Purpose (Why am I here?), and have a community of Belonging (Who is my tribe/community/people) to propel them into the works that God has prepared for them! We are prayerfully seeking the people that God has ordained to be a part in this fantastic journey!
