As a Group Leader or Volunteer attending VBS Shout, I will:

• Keep Jesus at the center. Leading is a way for others to see Jesus in me. I’ll keep Jesus at the center of VBS 2024 by making sure everything I do honors Him.
• Respect others. I can glorify God through how I treat people. I’ll show respect to everyone around me, including staff, other leaders, volunteers, and youth through what I do and what I say.
• Be a good steward. I don’t want to take anything for granted. I’ll take care of all facilities, vehicles, and properties. I will leave every location better than I found it.
• Set an example. Children are watching me. I’ll be a positive role model for others to follow.
• Bring the energy. I want youth to have a positive experience. I’ll do my best to bring energy and fun to create a positive environment that helps youth grow closer to Jesus.
• Be proactive. Children need guidelines (see below for the rules children are being asked to adhere to). I’ll set clear expectations for my group so they can stay safe.
  Engage. VBS Shout 2024 is about our children. I’ll make sure children have my attention and interest by listening, responding, and limiting distractions (e.g., texting, hanging out with other leaders, surfing social media, etc.).
  Children RULES
  Leaders/Volunteers, just so you’re aware, these are the rules children are being asked to adhere to:
