Each adult catechist will be paired with another adult to help lead a confirmation small group. Small group sizes are determined by the number of adult volunteers and teens in the program.
Attendance is expected and required as follows:
- (2) Confirmation meetings a month (hall and small group)
- (1) monthly workshop (at church for only adult and SALT volunteers)
- (1) Confirmation weekend retreat each program year (all volunteers travel on the bus and bunk in same buildings as teens)
- Volunteer kickoff meeting (Sept)
Each small group may have one or more SALT teens who volunteer to participate (number depends on how many teens choose to make the commitment). They are expected and required to attend the classes and workshops as well.
We already have the curriculum in place! At each workshop, the group of catechists will review the upcoming class curriculum. The adult volunteer’s role is to facilitate discussion within their small group. Each meeting has a topic along with discussion questions and group activities.
All adult volunteers must be fingerprinted, complete online safe environment training and online safe driver courses. Details will be coordinated through the Youth Ministry Office.
