Youth currently in grade 5 will be placed as a Jr. Assistant in a VBS crew of children aged 3.5-6. They will have a special role in leadership, including having a different color t-shirt than the participants, helping the children participate, running errands for the Adult Crew Leader and more! $25 per child Jr. Assistants must attend volunteer training on either July 6th at 6pm or July 10th at 11:30am.
Youth currently in grades 6-8 will be placed as a Jr. Assistant in one of the following stations: Craft, Music, Stage, Games, Snack, Encounter, Bible Time. List your top 3 preferences on the registration form, but it is understood that youth may need to be placed where they are needed most. Jr. Assistants will be given a special t-shirt color that will set them apart. $25 per child. Jr. Assistants must attend volunteer training on either July 6th at 6pm or July 10th at 11:30am.
High School Youth act as either Station Assistants, aiding the Adult Station Leader in prep work, guiding the children, and cleanup; or as a VBS assistant, willing to go wherever needed depending on the day. Tasks may include running errands, helping kids who are having a hard time, helping crews who need an extra hand, etc. No fee, but you still get a t-shirt! Youth volunteers must attend volunteer training on either July 6th at 6pm or July 10th at 11:30am. Youth 18 and older must be Virtus certified.
Adult Crew Leaders lead a small group (crew) of students aged 3-6 or grades 1-4 through the day. All groups begin and end at stage, then rotate through the Stations: Bible, Craft, Games, Snack, Music, Encounter. Please note in your registration if you’d prefer to work with ages 3-6 or grades 1-4. Your crew is always with other crews who have adult leaders. Your main job is to keep the children focused, respectful and par-ticipating in each station that you visit. All adult volunteers must be Virtus certified, and must attend a volunteer training on either July 6 at 6pm or July 10th at 11:30am.
