About the Board secretary position

USCR is seeking a dedicated and detail-oriented individual to step into the meaningful role of Board secretary.

The YFM representative serves as the liaison between the USCR Board and the region’s youth and family ministries. This board member works closely with the YFM and YOU consultants, as well as the Uniteen Rally coordinator, to support programs, events, leadership development, and communication throughout the region. The YFM representative advocates for the needs of youth and families, helping ensure that young people remain an integral part of the region’s vision and growth.
