MentorsMentors a youth in an hour and a half session. They do a small chore together and then pick an activity (horses, fishing, archery, art, gardening) that will help the youth grow in their particular area of need (confidence, communication, relationships, boundaries, trust etc.).
Requirements: personal relationship with Jesus, actively in the Word, compassionate, a good listener and a heart for children. No horse or archery experience needed as that can be taught. Commitment: Each youth comes either every week or bi-weekly. The mentor will be paired with them for the duration of the season (April 1-Oct 31) Pick which afternoon(s) M-Th 4-6:30 that work for you either weekly or biweekly. Mentoring has a really big impact on these children's lives. Although it may sound intimidating, a mentor does not need to have all the answers or fix the youth's problems. These youth just need someone to consistently spend time with them and show them a healthy way to process life. GreetersWelcome our families as they arrive and are a listening ear for the parents or guardians. The Greeter position is a lot like the mentor position but for the parents/guardians. We have seen wonderful bonds happen and just as much fruit as with the youth. We have even had some start studying the Bible together.
Requirements: personal relationship with Jesus, actively in the Word, compassionate and a good listener. Greeters don't have to have all the answers. Just be good listeners and be willing to pray with the parent/guardian. Commitment level is for the season April 1-Oct 31. Pick which afternoon(s) M-Th 4-6:30 that work for you either weekly or biweekly.
