We need to output HTML fragment with sections only where there is real content. The posting includes many details: responsibilities (Spiritual Development, Leadership Development, Resource Development, Direct Ministry, Ministry Support, Training, Supervision, Working Conditions). Also qualifications, education, salary range. Also note about internal staff not apply, statement of faith, etc. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The internal staff note and statement of faith are not boilerplate? They are specific to Young Life. Should we keep? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The internal staff note is not exactly those categories; it's a note about applying. Might be considered application instruction? It says "If you are currently on Young Life staff, please do not apply through this external jobs board. To apply for internal job opportunities, log in to Workday and use the Jobs Hub. Applying externally may delay your application and require you to resubmit internally." That's application instruction. So we should remove that. Also "Young Life requires all employees to sign a Statement of Faith. We recommend you read this statement before applying for any position." That's also application instruction? Possibly considered boilerplate? It's about requirement but could be kept as part of qualifications? However it's a condition of employment. Might be considered part of qualifications? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The statement of faith requirement is substantive. But it's also a condition. We could include it under a section like "Requirements" or "Qualifications". However we have a "Qualifications" heading allowed. We could put that statement there. But we need to avoid duplication. The posting also includes a long paragraph about statement of faith details. That is substantive. We should keep it. We need to decide headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have content for About the role? Not explicitly; maybe we can combine overview. But we should only include headings when there is real specific content. We have responsibilities detailed: Spiritual Development, Leadership Development, Resource Development, Direct Ministry, Ministry Support, Training, Supervision, Working Conditions. Those can go under Responsibilities as a list. We have Qualifications: Required For The Job list: 1+ year related ministry experience, ability to build and lead teams, proven leadership skills, proven relational skills, call to reach kids with Gospel, demonstrated verbal/written communication skills, ability to maintain confidentiality. Also "Addition To Training Requirements Must complete Core Training - Phase One within 36 months of hire date." Education College degree preferred. Also statement of faith requirement could be under Qualifications or Requirements. We'll put under Qualifications. Skills: maybe not separate; we could combine with Qualifications. But we can have Skills section if we have specific skills listed. The qualifications include skills like communication, leadership, relational. Could be Skills. But we already have Qualifications. To avoid thin sections, we can put all under Qualifications. Pay: we have salary range $65,000 - $90,000. So we can have Pay section. Schedule: not specified; no schedule details. So omit. Benefits: not specified; omit. About the role: we could give a brief overview from the posting: maybe the first paragraph about role? The posting starts with internal staff note removed. Then statement of faith requirement. Then the detailed responsibilities. There's no explicit "About the role" paragraph. Could we create one summarizing? That would be inventing. Better to omit About the role if no explicit content. However we need at least some heading? Not required; we can output only sections that have content. So we can have Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay. But we also have "Working Conditions" details under Responsibilities? Actually Working Conditions is a separate bullet under responsibilities? It appears after Supervision: "Working Conditions Will include the extremes of a camp assignment...". That could be part of Responsibilities or its own section. Since we have no separate heading for Working Conditions, we can include it as a list item under Responsibilities. Thus we will output:

Responsibilities

  • ... each bullet as a list item.
We need to break the long paragraphs into list items for each major area: Spiritual Development, Leadership Development, Resource Development, Direct Ministry, Ministry Support, Training, Supervision, Working Conditions. We need to preserve all substantive information; not summarize away detail. So we need to include the full text of each bullet as given. That is a lot of text but we must include it. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to copy each bullet exactly as in the posting. Let's extract each bullet: From posting: "Spiritual Development: “Following Jesus” includes prayer and spiritual disciplines, fellowship, growth and health and church relationships. Develop a yearly personal growth plan that fosters a vibrant spiritual life including time for solitude, retreat, reflection, prayer and a sincere commitment to understanding God’s Word. Seek and maintain relationships and disciplines, in the context of active participation in a church community. Actively participate in the spiritual life of the Young Life community. Lead teams and individuals in spiritual development. Ensure that all Young Life ministry in the area, is designed and carried out with a dependence on prayer that takes place out of the overflow of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ." "Leadership Development — “Equipping leaders, committee and staff” includes key volunteer care, recruiting, team building and training, supervision and vision casting. Partner with Regional director and Committee to cast vision for reaching “every kid” within the defined area. Develop consistent gatherings with committee, leaders and staff to build unity and provide vision and direction. Create a spiritual leadership plan for volunteer leaders, staff and committee members in the area. Recruit and train new staff and leaders to build leadership teams that reflect the community. Supervise, develop and evaluate area staff, providing resources and experiences needed to implement the vision. Provide quality summer staff, work crew and adult guests for summer camps. Model excellence in contact work, club, Campaigners and camping to other leaders. Train leaders, team leaders and committee how to work effectively in teams and develop a yearly ministry strategy." "Resource Development: “Fueling the ministry” includes events, major donor care, public relations (branding) and TDS team. Provide leadership to the TDS team and committee in finding partners to own the area vision and budget. Develop and lead the area’s fundraising strategy and ensure excellence in communication to donors. Raise the necessary funds to carry out the ministry vision for the local area, keeping the area consistently in surplus (goal is a one month cash reserve minimum). Build the Young Life brand via public relations as an excellent tool for working with youth in the area. Coordinate and conduct quality events which reflect Young Life’s capacity to impact kids and warrant the investment of a participant’s personal and corporate resources." "Direct Ministry: “Proclaiming and modeling” includes contact work, club, Campaigners and camp. Actively engage in all three levels of contact work. Lead or co-lead a model Young Life club; lead/supervise an effective Campaigner ministry with excellence. Observe and evaluate each of the schools/ministries in the local area on a yearly basis. Develop and implement ongoing plans to maximize Gospel proclamation through camping opportunities. Serve on a summer assignment at a Young Life property, other Young Life camp or in another position each summer." "Ministry Support: “Taking care of business” includes accounting, administration, communication (internal), data management and strategic plan. Adhere to all Young Life policies and procedures and maintain professionalism concerning office hours, dress, conduct and time management. Manage finances with stewardship, accountability and transparency using the mission-wide applications. Maintain accurate information on kids, leaders and donors for area records. Provide clear, prompt, appropriate and professional communication to everyone involved in ministry. Set yearly strategic ministry plan and initiatives to reach every kid; review them on a regular basis. Perform other duties as assigned and congruent with gifts, experience and area needs. Accept both short and long-term assignments of projects." "Training Participation in missionwide staff conference every four years. Participation in additional training or experiences if deemed necessary (e.g., more urban exposure; Taking Donors Seriously (TDS)) training). Attend regional training as directed by the regional director. Pursue continuing educational opportunities including graduate degrees. Participate in programs designed for personal spiritual maturity or personal enrichment. Pursue seminars designed to enhance professional skills." "Supervision Supervises 1 to 3 clubs and/or ministries.Supervises 0 to 25 volunteers." "Working Conditions Will include the extremes of a camp assignment, e.g., heat/cold, dirt, long hours and the physical demands of hiking, horseback riding, boating, etc. Staff person must be able to handle these conditions." We need to keep each as a list item. Now Qualifications: list: "Requires 1+ year of related ministry experience." "Demonstrated ability to build and lead teams." "Proven leadership skills." "Proven relational skills with both kids and adults." "A call to reach kids with the Gospel." "Demonstrated verbal and written communication skills." "Ability to maintain confidentiality." "Addition To Training Requirements Must complete Core Training - Phase One within 36 months of hire date." "Education College degree preferred." Also statement of faith requirement: We need to include that as part of Qualifications maybe as a separate bullet. The statement of faith paragraph: "Young Life requires all employees to sign a Statement of Faith. We recommend you read this statement before applying for any position. Because of Young Life’s exclusive Christian purposes of evangelism and discipleship as set forth in its Articles of Incorporation and in these Bylaws, and to reflect what has always been and will continue to be the position of Young Life, specifically the Christian belief that each and every employee and volunteer of the corporation should minister as a servant of God with the primary responsibility of proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ and, as such, is an integral part of the Christian mission and ministry of the corporation, Young Life shall only employ individuals or enlist volunteer leaders who: (a) profess a belief in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord; and (b) subscribe to the statements and policies required of all Young Life staff, including the Young Life Statement of Faith. Therefore, employees and volunteers of Young Life, during working and nonworking hours, shall: (i) be ready, willing and able to fulfill such ministry functions as may be required by the organization; (ii) refrain from conduct and statements that detract from the biblical standards taught and supported by Young Life, and (iii) abide by all policies and practices of Young Life including, without limitation, those related to religious belief or ministry activities." We need to keep that entire block as a bullet (or maybe multiple bullets). It's substantive. We'll include as a list item. Pay: "$65,000 -$90,000 depending on relevant education, experience, location and fundraising capacity." Also note: "In the U.S., the standard base pay range for this role is outlined below. This base pay range is for the U.S. and is not applicable to locations outside of the United States." We'll include that. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no markdown. We'll produce:
