The interviewer wants to know a little about you and why you want to be a Youth Director. This is your time to talk about what you are passionate about. When working with youth there is generally a reason that people want to work with youth- this may b because they had an amazing educator or even a bad experience and they want to make a difference.
This is your chance to show the interviewer why you want to be in this career and why you want to make a difference in the youth's lives. Take time prior to the interview to think about why you want to be a Youth Program Director. You don't have to come up with a ton of reasons why you want to do this job, but you should have a solid answer thought out prior.
"I want to be a Youth Program Director, because I want to make a difference in the lives of the children. Unfortunately, there are many children in the population that are growing up without positive role models in their lives. I want to change that and continue to create a positive environment for the youth to grow and thrive."
