When are the Training Meetings?

Kids Club Volunteer Training

This is our mandatory training for everyone volunteering during Kids Club (including Junior Leaders).  You’ll eat dinner with your team, get your t-shirt, and receive more information about your role at Kids Club. Childcare and dinner for adults and kids will be provided. Some of the teams may be asked to stay later that evening for additional training or prep. A make-up training will be Sunday, June 5 from 10:45-12 in Room 204. If you cannot make it to either training, please email .

Junior Leader Training

All Junior Leaders who have been accepted to our program must also stay after the Kids Club Training for a mandatory training time.  We’ll discuss ways to help you be an effective leader, answer questions, and get pumped for Kids Club week! A make-up training will be Sunday, June 5 from 10:45-12 in Room 204.  The Junior Leaders will meet at the end of this time.
