My elevator pitch would likely vary depending on setting, but here are a couple super short pitches:

“Our youth ministry is trying to help teenagers become exposed to, experience and express Jesus Christ in some life changing ways. We are always looking for adults who want to be part of helping that happen, and word on the street is that you would be perfect!”

“Some of the teenagers in our youth group gave me your name as somebody they think would be a great leader! We are always looking for men and women to help us lead small groups, help out at mid-week and mentor teenagers. If any of that sounds interesting to you, let me know!”

“Did you know that a primary reason so many teenagers walk away from church after they graduate from high school is because they don’t feel connected to the adults in church? Our youth ministry has all sorts of ways somebody like you can plug in and get to know our students! Interested?”

“I’m not letting you off this elevator until you agree to be a 7th grade cabin leader at summer camp.”
