I’m hosting my first training in my new position and while there is a lot of information to go over, I also want to make it fun and engaging! One idea I had was to do a Kahoot quiz with some of the policies we need to review. What fun things do you did in your trainings that volunteers enjoy? Have any ice breakers that are crowd favorite?

Last week in our Kids Ministry Circle Roundtable call, we talked about rhythms around volunteer training. Fall is around the corner and you may be working through your 2026-2027 Volunteer training calendar. So, let's take a poll! How often do you train your volunteers? Bonus question to answer in the chat...are your rhythms working? PS: If you are a member in the Kids Ministry Circle Roundtable, I just dropped a deep dive video explaining my 4-part Volunteer Training Strategy into your specific classroom!

Hi Everyone, Sorry for all the questions I am pretty new and still trying to figure it all out. Iam also currently doing everything myself. I do have a part time staff person who only does the schedule and a few odds and ends and helps me with events and it is becoming to much for me. You all talk about different job titles within Kids Ministry for voluteers. I hear Check-In, leads, coaches, what other positions are there? Where can I find information on each of their purposes so that I can make our own Job Descriptions for the positions we might need for our ministry and see what fits our needs in kids ministry. I have googled a few but there are so many, I just was curiouse what you all use when you are a small church and their purpose.

Any ideas for Volunteer Appreciation gifts for VBS helpers that are not food/drink? Thanks!

Do any of you use Bar Code scanners with and Apple Ipad, if so which one do you have? does it work well?
