Youth Volunteer Opportunities for 2019

09.03.19 | Youth Ministry

    Volunteers play a critical role in CCC Youth programs. From providing administrative support, to planning activity and games, and to mentoring, CCC volunteers work collaboratively, and sometimes in pressure situations, to create an environment where youth feel safe, cared for, and loved. Volunteers are often not recognized publicly for their work, and so this is an expectation, if you are considering to help, that you will do well to prepare for in advance. This said, you can expect to have opportunities to build relationship and interact, in meaningful ways, with the youth of the CCC body, a privilege that you might find worth its troubles.

    A list of volunteer opportunities is provided below. It is expected that volunteers will commit to serve in this capacity from September 2019 - June 2020. For details regarding time commitment expectations, and respective volunteer descriptions and duties, please contact Zadok directly via the WeChat QR code above.
