NYWC - National Youth Workers Convention 2006 Charlotte, NC

Ok, I am on my second day of the convention. The over arching theme that I am hearing so far is ..... that you MUST take careful consideration of who your volunteers are and how you INVITE them into ministry.

• What is the process?
• Is it clear?
• Do they know the expectations?
• How are you going to care for them?
• How are you going to train them?

I am already starting to process and evaluate our overall student ministry and how we do this! I am excited about this process and what will come of it! Volunteer leaders are ESSENTIAL!!!

HUGE shout out to Katie Edwards, Director of Student ministry Volunteers at Saddleback Church, for taking the time to talk to us and answer our many questions about the volunteer process at Saddleback. YOU ROCK!!! Thanks for the insight and your willingness to share your passion to enable your leaders!!
