Volunteer as Staff

 
 

VOLUNTEER AS STAFF

We would love for you to join the team!

First, you will need to submit a staff application and acquire a child abuse history clearance. As a staff, you would decide which days of the month you can volunteer. You are expected to contribute to the positive energy at the youth center, address any conflict that may arise and show up promptly for their hours. Youth Center staff are eligible to help with camps, canoe trips, gym night, core group and vacation Bible School. Besides activities with kids, staff enjoy an annual cabin retreat and fun activities throughout the year to build team unity and to encourage one another.

Fill out the Application

Apply for a Child Abuse History Clearance

After completing the application and clearance you can expect to hear from our committee within a week. Before joining the team you will need to watch a short video on child abuse required by our insurance. Then you’ll be ready to dive into all the youth center has to offer you!

Staff Expectations 

  • Since Christ lives in us, staff should imitate the life and person of Jesus Christ. 

  • Staff will be encouraged to support other staff members in both their life and service as a disciple of Jesus Christ. 

  • Staff are encouraged to faithfully attend and participate in any staff meetings. 

  • Staff must find a replacement for themselves if they are not able to fulfill their committment at a particular event. 

  • Staff are encouraged to be intentional about building relationships with the youth and not just visiting with other staff. 

  • Staff involved in activities away from the HBYC will be expected to follow these guidelines:
    -Males build relationships with males; females with females.
    -The same applies to taking any youth to their homes.
    -Always let the director know before you plan to take anyone to your home or to leave the Center with any youth for any reason. 

  • You will be encouraged to faithfully assist HBYC's activities on a regular basis. Your gifts and experience will help in determining where you can be used the most. 

  • Staff should be willing to assist or lead activities outside the Center.
    For example, you may be asked to help with camping trips, field trips or sporting events; also to help with the youth group that was started at HBYC. 

  • Staff should be willing to share with other staff and to pray with one another. We strongly encourage that all staff attend the prayer time after each evening we are open. 

  • We would encourage staff to build relationships both at HBYC and also on your own time away from the Youth Center. Some ways of doing that could be to take a child out to eat, bowling, etc. In this way we can be more effective in our relationship with them
