VBS 2025- Youth Assistant Registration

Youth Assistant Information

PLEASE READ THIS FIRST:
Youth who are eligiable to volunteer must be going into 7th-12th grade in the Fall of 2025 (If you have a youth going into 6th grade and would rather volunteer, please let Rev. Alison know). You need to register each youth individually. This will hopefully help us keep the Youth's grades, age, tshirt size and medical info clearly marked and attached to the appropriate volunteer. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Yes No

I will serve the children/youth of VBS in a safe and nurturing manner.

Yes No

I agree to observe the Two Person Rule at all times. This means that at least two volunteers, one of whom shall be an adult, will be with any child at all times.
