Episode 18 | Join us as we discuss Being a Youth Ministry Volunteer vs. Being a Chaperone. In this episode we talk incredible impact a youth ministry volunteer can make in the life of a teenager when they think of themselves as more than a chaperone. You’ll be challenged to lean into building great relationships with teenagers.

Discussion Questions:
As a reminder, our 4 comparisons we made between Being a Youth Ministry Volunteer vs. Being a Chaperone were:
On task vs On Mission (event/trip)
Observation vs Participation (worship service)
Keeps it private vs. makes it personal (small group moments in Bible study)
One Day vs. Long Term (not simply checking the box on Sundays)
Have you ever thought of yourself as more of a chaperone than a volunteer(as talked about in this episode)?
What are some of the biggest challenges with teenagers of going deeper than being a chaperone?
