volunteer registration guidelines...

Each year, hundreds of volunteers serve children and youth through ALLFOURONE. Whether a full-time mom, student, doctor, grocery clerk or contractor, these volunteers play a very important part in the overall ministry to students. All it takes is a love for God and a heart that beats for kids. Volunteers have the unique opportunity to spend several days and nights sharing their lives with young people. During this time, a volunteer and camper have the opportunity to learn more about each other and more about God than in a year of mid-week services or Sunday school classes. God is so faithful to open doors for relationship mentoring, which can result in an impact that can alter an eternity. Our prayer is that God will richly reward every volunteer with His blessing for taking the time to invest in the life of a child.
