RELIGIOUS EDUCATION VOLUNTEERING

Ours is a cooperative program and as such, with the exception of our paid staff, Director of Religious Education and Youth Coordinator, it is run entirely by volunteers!  For our program to succeed, we need many volunteers.  We would like ALL parents of children in the RE program to offer their time as Assistants for a few classes.  It's a great way to learn about the RE program, see what your kids are up to, and to get to know their friends and other parents at church.  Once you have become familiar with the RE Program through participating as an assistant, we ask that you volunteer your time as a Class Leader or in some other capacity for a portion of the year.  We provide training, mentoring, written curriculum and other resources as support for all of our volunteers.

In addition, we welcome all congregational members, whether or not they have children in the program, to offer their talents to help us prepare these wonderful children for a thoughtful, spiritual, and socially active life!

Some of the volunteer opportunities that are available in the program include:

• Lead Teacher, Assistant, Substitute Teacher, or One-on-One Assistant
• Community RE Leaders, Assistants and Coordinators – to coordinate and run Community or Group RE events
• Nursery Assistant
• Religious Education Committee Member
• Curriculum Development Support, Supplies Coordinator, or Cleanup Volunteer
• OWL Leader or Coming of Age Mentor

For additional information on volunteer opportunities in the RE program, please see our Director of Religious Education or any member of the RE Committee.
