Guidelines

Age Requirements:

All our volunteers must be at least 13 years old.  Typically, young adults ages 13- 14,  serve as runners. Young adults ages 15 and up can serve as team leaders and team assistance. Those serving with the security team must be at least 16 years old. Section leaders are 18 and up.

Attitude and Behavior:

We ask that all the workers stay positive throughout the conference. Realize that most of the children aren’t used to being in large groups of strangers without their parents there for their “comfort blanket”. It’s up to you to make them feel welcome and comfortable in this new setting.  We ask that you participate in all that goes on. The children look up to you. If the leaders are enthusiastic about all that’s going on, then the children will be as well.  Although you may feel that some activities like hand motions during songs and scripture memory are “below you”, remember that if you don’t do them, then the children won’t find them enjoyable either. You play a HUGE role in setting the atmosphere for the event! Please keep a smile on your face and always remember that you want the children to see Jesus in you.

Dress:

Each volunteer will receive a staff T- shirt during teacher training that will be worn throughout the event. During the event …     – We ask that young men wear long slacks and staff shirts.

- We ask that young ladies wear appropriate skirts or relaxed pants, whatever would be most appropriate for you and your family. No cut up or torn jeans.  Keep in mind that you will be sitting on the floor with children and be involved in physical activities such as relays, obstacle course, etc (Ultimately, we defer to your parents on this part of the dress code). We ask that neither guys nor gals wear shorts during the event.

Authority:

If you sign up to work with us, you are agreeing to obey and follow all of the CCI guidelines. We don’t have a lot of rules, but the ones we have are in effect for a reason. If you are acting inappropriately please know that we will address you on the issue. We don’t make that our goal and we trust that we won’t have to address you on your conduct.

Background check:

Screening of our adult volunteers is an important part of our security process. Adult volunteers must provide proof of ID when they report for training before the conference event.
