    Description

    This encouraging and positive volunteer welcomes the kids as they come through the door, monitors what the kids bring into our building, and assists in getting kids to the proper area at the start of the program.

    Shifts Needed: 4:45 - 5:45, 7:45 - 8:30. You may sign up for both shifts and stay to enjoy a hot meal with the kids in between shifts if you'd like!

    On Mondays and Wednesdays, we serve 1st grade through 6th grade and Tuesdays and Thursdays we serve 7th grade through 12th grade.

    The Volunteer Position: Greeter

    Commitment: At least one evening per week.

    An overview of our program:

    Each night, our doors open at 5:00. The children play on the playground (weather permitting), watch movies, draw, etc., until dinner is served around 5:45. Every night the kids are with us, we serve them a hot meal. After dinner, the kids head to Chapel for worship and a light lesson. Afterwards, they head to age-appropriate classrooms for expounding on the chapel lesson. We provide the curriculum and related supplies for each night. At the end of the night, each child leaves with a kid-friendly food bag to keep them fed while they are not with us.

    Rock House Kids is an ongoing year-round program. We ask for at least a six month-long commitment.

    Choose the day(s) of the week that best works for you! We have a great time with these precious, hungry and hurting children. We need volunteers that will faithfully support the evening programs by following the curriculum that is set forth for each day programming is available.

    An application can be mailed, filled out at our office, or online at https://rockhousekids.org/program-volunteers/

    A background check is required for anyone working with our kids.

    If you have any questions, please call our office.
