    Group Facilitator for Teens

    Youth Haven Ministries | Charleston, WV

    Lead life-changing conversations. Create safe spaces. Empower the next generation.

    Are you ready to make a real difference in teens’ lives? We’re seeking compassionate, grounded, and engaging Group Facilitators to lead small groups that support youth emotionally, spiritually, and relationally.

    Our groups cover important topics like mental health, leadership, identity, faith, and community — all designed to help teens grow into confident, resilient young adults.

    What You’ll Do:

    • Guide structured, meaningful group conversations on mental health, identity, leadership, faith, and more
    • Foster a safe, welcoming, and respectful environment where every teen feels heard
    • Lead activities, discussions, or lessons with provided curriculum and training
    • Model active listening, healthy boundaries, and positive values
    • Collaborate with staff and volunteers — you’ll never be alone with youth

    Groups You May Lead or Co-Lead:

    • Mental Health Support
    • LGBTQ+ Affirming Support
    • Leadership & Life Skills Workshops
    • Bible Studies and Faith Conversations
    • Grief & Loss Support
    • Peer Mentoring Circles
    • Identity & Purpose Exploration

    What We’re Looking For:

    • Commitment to complete background screening and facilitator training
    • Comfortable leading discussions and managing small groups
    • Ability to maintain confidentiality, boundaries, and emotional safety
    • Compassionate, nonjudgmental, and approachable presence
    • Availability for weekly or biweekly group sessions (we’ll work with your schedule)

    Why Volunteer as a Group Facilitator?

    • Create a lasting, positive impact in the lives of youth who need safe spaces and caring adults
    • Gain hands-on experience in mental health, leadership, ministry, or youth advocacy
    • Join a supportive team that shares your passion and values
    • Use your voice and story to inspire and empower others
    • Access mentorship, skill development, and opportunities for certification support

    Whether your passion is faith, wellness, leadership, or advocacy, we’ll equip you with the tools and training to help teens feel seen, heard, and empowered.

    Step up. Lead with love. Change lives.
