A Kids Ministry Orientation for Volunteers is a training session designed to equip individuals who want to serve with Northgate Kids. The orientation provides attendees with the tools, guidelines, and understanding needed to effectively engage with and support the spiritual growth of children.

Here's what to expect:

1. Overview of Kids Ministry: Introduction to the mission, vision, and values of the children's ministry, as well as its goals for helping kids grow in faith.
2. Volunteer Roles and Responsibilities: Explanation of various roles (e.g., teachers, assistants, check-in helpers) and what each entails, including preparing lessons, interacting with kids, and ensuring safety. Not all roles will work directly with children.
3. Child Safety Policies: Training on important protocols, such as background checks, safety procedures, and appropriate child interaction.
4. Classroom Management and Teaching Tips: Guidance on how to engage children effectively, lead activities, and create a positive, structured environment for learning.
5. Team Support and Expectations: Understanding how volunteers work together as a team and what ongoing support, communication, and expectations are in place.

The orientation ensures volunteers are well-prepared and confident as they begin serving in the ministry.
