Emily Koop

MS Girls Staff

I call MI home but grew up all over due to life as a military kid. I am married to an Airman and we are stationed here at GFAFB. I got involved with YL Military, "Club Beyond" in high school, and seeing how greatly it impacted me, I was excited to jump on board and continue to lead here in Grand Forks.

Owen Hanson

Boys Staff

I'm from Fergus Falls, MN and am a Junior at UND studying accounting. I have been involved in YL since middle school which is where I established a relationship with Jesus. Coming to Grand Forks I wanted to continue to lead kids as I was led by my Young Life leaders growing up and continue to grow the ministry.

​ HS Girls Staff

Hey ya'll! It's Alix here. I call Missouri my home, but I've lived in various places in the midwest including SD, MN, and ND. Once I moved to GF, God called me to lead youth ministry and that's been my passion since I founded MS/HS YoungLife in our area 3 years ago. When I'm not doing YL, you can find me doing social work for foster care kiddos and families, or doing portrait photography!! Can't wait to connect with you :)
