Sample Youth Ministry Volunteer Application Packet

A look through this packet, created by Tim Schmoyer of Alexandria Evangelical Covenant Church, will give you an idea of what topics to cover in a volunteer application for youth ministry workers. The theological background for youth ministry which he provides may also be helpful for planning volunteer orientations.

My Brain Hurts!

Submitted by John D (not verified) on Thu, 01/31/2008 - 19:03.
Wow, I know that it's important to get information to those intrested in working with youth, but after reading through this 31 page book of an application, I've got information overload. It's like, my mind stops thinking about what my answers are and focuses on what the answers that this organization are looking for are. To much content for new and interested youth workers. Some of it's unrealistic (i.e. Going to own students school and "just hang out") and definitly not simple. Can't we just get back to being consise and not so complex on things...it's ridiculous. If I was a potential volunteer, I'd be thinking that I don't have time to finish this book much less work with this ministry's youth.
