SR Pathfinder Boys | Flexible | Flexible | Boys grades 7-12

This is a new program that is still being worked out. Our goal is to use it to mold our boys into men of God through Bible study, adventures, and lifeskills. You could help lay the foundation for this amazing program!
Mentor Program | Flexible | Flexible | Students grades 11-12
Location: Flexible
We are looking for mentors who are willing to walk with students through the last few years of high school and the first few years of adulthood. This is such an important time in every person's life. We want to make sure we are offering the special guidance needed. This program does require a year long commitment.
Other Need - We are looking for people willing to make the meal for either our Monday night or Tuesday night program. This would be a once a month commitment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring my kids?
Yes! Please! If they are the right age they can jump right in and participate in the program. If they are too old or too young we can find them other roles to play. We love having families serve together!
What if I need to miss one of the 6 weeks?
Life happens, we get it. We are very flexible!
What if I don’t like kids?
We have other ways for you to serve. You could only serve dinner, show up at the end to help clean, or be a designated driver for our big vans.
Can I serve for more than six weeks?
Absolutely! You can jump in for the whole semester, year, or the rest of your life!
What kind of training do I receive?
Once you have committed to serving for 6 weeks we will reach out via phone call or text. We will answer all your questions and give you all the important info. From there we will send you all of our policies and procedures to review. While you are doing that, we run a background check on all volunteers over the age of 18.
Why six weeks?
We naturally build in a break every six weeks. We want to make sure our volunteers are fed, rested, and serving out of overflow.
Do I have to start a certain week?
No! While it certainly makes it easier if you start and end in line with a break, it is not required at all. You know what works for you amidst sports, church, and all the other things on your plate.
