Please REVIEW the following volunteer opportunities:

Small Group Leader (HS/Adult)

A Small Group Leader is a clubber’s main AWANA contact. Small Group Leaders are responsible to lead clubbers in discussion during Small Group Time and provide spiritual counseling. They listen to the memorized scripture, help ensure comprehension, and then sign off completed sections. The Small Group Leader is the manager of the permanent record book and accurately records all sections passed and awards earned. Leaders are also vital role models providing enthusiasm and discipline during the other club segments. Leaders have the greatest opportunity – and responsibility– to personally affect lives of children for eternity and disciple them. During game time, the Leader instructs and reminds clubbers of clubbers are on for the club night.

Time Commitment: 

• Wednesday evenings 5:30pm -7:45pm for about 25 weeks, approximately 2.15 hours per week

Training:

• Attend AWANA Training Night leading up to season start

Season:

• Sept 2 – Nov 18 and Jan 13 – April 28 (we break for Christmas and for summer) 

Small Group Helper (JH/HS/Adult)

A Helper is a Small Group Leader’s assistant during the small group handbook time. He or she works with an individual clubber, helping the clubber to memorize the verse. The Listener is also the person who has the greatest responsibility to make sure the clubber truly understands what the scripture is saying. A Helper can explain the passage, define words, sometimes already defined in the Handbook, make sure that all the requirements are met to pass that Handbook section, and generally make sure that the scripture is truly hidden in the clubber's heart. During Game time, the Helper encourages the clubbers in good sportsmanship and genuine fun. In Large group time, the Helper can remind clubbers to stay focused and respectful to the speaker and rejoice with all award-earners.  Your direct report is the Awana commander or family ministry pastor.
