So you want to be a Youth Volunteer?

I heard you say that, right? That's what I thought. Here's the deal. The new "season", if you will, of youth ministry at Western Oaks is starting up here in the middle of September. Youth group always takes a bit of a break for the summer. We do less Sunday night hang outs, and more random weekly events. Once September hits though, we gear right back up. So it is really good timing that you are telling me that you're wanting to be a Youth Volunteer.
Oh, you want to know what being a Youth Volunteer is all about? That's simple. It's about being with students. It's about hanging out with them on Sunday nights. It is about investing time praying for them, chatting with them, and maybe even inviting one or two or twelve over for dinner once in a while (not required of course). :) It's about enjoying yourself. It's about having a good time. It's about building relationships. It's about forming bonds and connections. It's about ministering to students simply by living your life.
Don't just jump into this position though. It'll change your life. Only do this if you are ready for your life to be changed-changed in a great way. Only do this if you are willing to change the lives' of students, also in a great way.
Think you have what it takes to be a Youth Volunteer? Think you are ready to give up your Sunday evenings for the rest of the school year?

I think you are. So e-mail me and tell me you agree. youth@westernoaks.org
