Grad Staff
Welcome, Grad Staff!
At Teen Advisors, Inc., we are so excited to welcome college-aged students from a wide variety of schools to be part of our Grad Staff program—a unique opportunity to serve, grow, and build lasting relationships.
Each year, Grad Staff play a vital role in our mission by mentoring middle and high school students, volunteering at events, leading small groups, and simply being positive role models in the lives of teens.
But it’s not just about serving others—we’re also committed to pouring into you. Throughout the year, we host intentional gatherings and events to help build strong community among Grad Staff, encourage personal growth, and (of course) have a ton of fun together!
Discipleship + Community: Optional Spiritual Growth Opportunity
In 2021, we launched a discipleship program specifically for our Grad Staff. This optional aspect of the program is designed to foster deep relationships and spiritual growth during what can be a complex and formative season of life.
Participants are paired with a Teen Advisors, Inc. staff member for weekly connection, accountability, and intentional time spent learning and leading through Bible studies. This is a space to ask questions, grow in your faith, and be encouraged as you navigate college life—academics, relationships, and everything in between.
Even if you don’t participate in the discipleship component, you can still serve on Grad Staff. But if you’re seeking spiritual growth and mentorship, this is a meaningful opportunity to walk alongside a trusted leader while investing in others.
Why Grad Staff?
Whether you’re living in town or away at school, we’d love for you to join us in this mission. As a Grad Staff member, you’ll have opportunities to:
- Mentor and encourage middle and high school students
- Serve at events and lead small groups
- Build friendships with other college students
- Grow in leadership and personal integrity
- Make a lasting impact in the community
We know college life is busy, which is why your level of involvement is flexible. Your commitment is simply to live with integrity, abstaining from drugs, alcohol, and sex, while being a positive role model—and we'll walk with you every step of the way.
Whatever time and energy you can give, we promise to make it worth your while—with real connection, real purpose, and lots of fun.
