CYAK Team
We are thankful to have a team of volunteers and supporters who play a large role in making CYAK's ministry possible! The CYAK team is comprised of:
|
• teachers
• nurses • administrators • financial supporters • youth leaders • cooks • prayer warriors • worship leaders • business owners • public speakers • board members • parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles • and so many others! |
|
We count on our team to help spread the word and get students registered for regional youth retreats and Bible camp, as well as participate our gatherings by leading worship, speaking, cooking, taking pictures, leading small groups and so much more. We are so thankful for the support that we receive from all of those on the CYAK team!
Building and supporting the CYAK team is key for the development of youth ministry in Alaska. Because of this, CYAK works to recruit, train, resource, and synergize youth workers and volunteers across the state.
Recruit: We recruit local volunteers to work with the kids in the village, and youth workers from outside the village as well.
Train/Resource: Volunteers who are well equipped make a significant difference in the lives of kids. Providing training and resourcing is especially important because feeling unequipped is a major cause for burnout.
Network: To avoid feeling isolated and discouraged, we create a sense of connection for youth workers and volunteers by networking at Bible Camp, regional youth events, and times of training.
Synergize: Synergy is created by connecting youth workers and working together so that we can accomplish the ministry that we would not be able to do on our own.
Strategic Planning: CYAK helps youth workers and churches strategically plan for ways of effectively reaching youth.

We are like a dog team. The work of Christ, our collective ministry, is the sled. No one is strong enough to pull alone, so we must work together to fly over the snow. We have to be united, for our every move affects one another. Sometimes the conditions in which we run are very cold. But our Musher is Good, and he knows our strengths and weakness even better than we do. He has equipped us to run hard in the cold weather and he will guide us home to safety. When we heed the voice that guides us, we fly over the tundra as one.
