Key Result Area #2 – Pursuit of Lost Teens

Standards of Performance (You'll know you've done a good job when…):

• You coach a Rebalance team according to the standards and methods prescribed by N. Colorado YFC and your Rebalance MSC. This includes regular planning and assessment meetings with the Rebalance team (6 hrs./wk. when Rebalance is in session). Rebalance work will take priority.
• You have strategically identified and pursued kids, most often through Rebalance, and sought to relationally connect with them and helped them connect with additional YFC leaders using the Program RMA (BOB, Braid, PV/A, Wheels, etc.) or a local church youth group.
• Developed and implemented a weekly regimen of additional RMA's with Rebalance kids and/or other YFC-affiliated youth (1-4 hours depending on the week). Examples:
  Contacting, Building Times, Appointments, etc.
• Sought to make a general assessment of teens' deeper needs in 5 basic areas of life literacy– Economic, Basic Health and Safety, Civic Lit., Education, Spiritual/Moral Literacy.
• Champion the ongoing development of systems, equipment, infrastructure, standards, and training for Outdoor Adventure events and activities through which YFC leaders can effectively engage with lost (and saved) teenagers.

Key Result Area #3 – Coaching Biblical Application

Supporting Objective: Within our 3

Story relationships you demonstrate the importance of Biblical truth by accurately handling and presenting that truth and by continually coaching kids to apply that same truth in all aspects of their daily living.

Standards of Performance:

• Use the Bible in some creative way each time you lead a YFC-related activity, including appointments (Make an attempt!), but more obviously, on programmed activities like a MTB outing.
  
  Note:
  
  even in Rebalance we are teaching biblical truth in the form of a curriculum based on the fruit of the Spirit, but the exception here is that we are asked not to reference our source (unless asked by a teen).
• Present the Gospel (the story of God's desire to be in a relationship with each person through the saving work of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection) to teens wherever possible–from appointments to camp, and in planned environments or in spontaneous conversational opportunities.

Key Result Area #4 – Community Partnerships
