Applications are NOW LIVE to be a STRiVE Coach!  Apps are due Sept. 10th at 11:59pm.

We are excited to recruit for the Winter STRiVE coaching team (January 8-12, 2018) through this form.  In order to be a STRiVE coach, you must have previously attended STRiVE as a participant.

Serving as a coach is a lot of fun, but it is also a big commitment.  In order to serve, you must be able to attend the weekly training meetings on Fridays from 1-3pm. In addition, you must attend an all-day final preparation session, as well as the retreat itself.

January 2018 Dates:

Weekly meetings: Fridays 1-3pm, starting on October 6, 2017

5-Hour prep meeting: Friday, January 5, 2018

Retreat: January 8-12, 2018 at Skycroft Retreat Center

This application is due on September 10th at 11:59pm. Candidates advancing in the process will be interviewed. The final choice of coaches will be determined in part by our desire to build a diverse and balanced team. 

If you have any questions about the application or the process, please contact Corinne Janet, the Coordinator of Student Life for Leadership Development at cjanet@umbc.edu.  Thanks for applying!

*Please note, there will be one STRiVE Leadership Retreat in 2018.

John 6:26ff - “Jesus replied, ‘I tell you the truth, you want to be with me because I fed you, not because you understood the miraculous signs. But don’t be so concerned about perishable things like food. Spend your energy seeking the eternal life that the Son of Man can give you…’”

We spend so much energy and resources in trying to better our lives… to feel better, to improve our standard of living, to be more comfortable or successful, etc…  Spend your energy seeking eternal life!

“What had happened to [Augustine] can happen to others because every human heart is the same in this way. ‘I am not alone in this desire [for the blessed state of happiness], nor are there only a few who share it with me: without exception we all long for happiness… All agree that they want to be happy…. They may all search for it in different ways, but all try their hardest to reach the same goal, that is, joy.’ This is a great common ground for doing evangelism in every age. Deeper than all ‘felt needs’ is the real need: God. Not just God experienced without emotional impact, but rather God experienced as ‘holy Delight.’ …’He is happy who possesses God.’ Not because God gives health, wealth, and prosperity, but because God is our soul’s joyful resting place. To make this known and experienced through Jesus Christ is the goal of evangelism and world missions. ” (J. Piper, The Legacy of Sovereign Joy, p. 70)
