High School Volunteers:

Our S.T.O.P. Retreat Directors are looking for high school volunteers to help run this retreat. There are two roles that highschoolers can sign up for: Small Group Leaders & Guardians.

Small Group Leaders will be assigned a small group of middle schoolers and will be leading small group discussions, activities, and will be responsible for following the retreat’s agenda.

Guardians are a role focused on hospitality. They set up and take down for all of the activities, clean up, and prepare and cook all of the food that is served at the retreat. Guardians are a more “background” type of role.

We will have two training meetings for high school volunteers. These will be:

Sunday, December 20th starting with 4:30 Mass and training from 5:30-7 PM

Saturday, January 9th starting with 4:30 Mass and training from 5:30-7 PM
