Back To School Volunteer Youth Worker Training

Heading into the new school year, here are some blog posts youth pastors may want to pass on to volunteers:

1. Handout for Parents of Students in my Small Group – This is a quick list of expectations they can have of me and I will have of their students. It also includes a tip about my favorite type of cookies in case they ever wanted to send treats. One of the mom’s was very faithful to oblige. Score!

2. What Parents Need to Know – This is a MUST READ for volunteers. The items on this list could make the difference between having supportive/happy parents or complaining/thorn-in-the-side-of-the-youth-pastor parents

3. Helping Families Through Conflict – While small group leaders primarily work with students, we will occasionally have the blessing of dealing with greater family conflicts students are navigating. This post gives some useful tips on how to help.
