Children's Choir & SPARK

SPARK YOUTH WORKERS and VOLUNTEERS
Sign up by August 29 | Mandatory Training on September 4, 4:30-5:30 p.m. in the CLC

Youth in 6th -12th grades are invited to apply as a SPARK Youth worker or volunteer. Youth workers or volunteers engage with children to help them grow in faith, build strong fellowship, and have fun together. Additionally, it provides an excellent opportunity for youth to develop leadership skills and a sense of responsibility. Youth often work in seasons to accommodate their school and extracurricular schedules. We ask that they commit to a 6–8 week season to ensure effective planning and mentoring. Before starting, training and paperwork are required to ensure a smooth and successful experience.

SPARK Youth participation options:
  • Youth Workers:
    • are employees of the church who will earn compensation. (Must be 14 years old, have a work permit and ALL required HR documents complete. Youth may volunteer until all required HR documents are completed and on file.)
  • Youth Volunteers:
    • may earn hourly credits toward a scholarship. Hours of volunteerism will be tracked, and credit will be accumulated to be used toward a future Choir England Trip or Birmingham and Berkley First sponsored Mission trip in which the student participates in.
    • may earn community service hours. (Youth will need to present a link or document for signature.)
 
If your child(ren) would like to earn a paycheck as a paid employee of the church, please email Megan Klapp at mklapp@fumcbirmingham.org and all the HR documents will be emailed to you.
