Introduction

Volunteers change lives. At youth group meetings, in Sunday school, at summer camp, during pizza parties, on retreats, in small groups, during lock-ins, and in countless other ways, volunteers are making an incredible difference in the lives of the young people in your student ministry.

Ministry is about teamwork, and the volunteers in your church are the most important members of your team! Let's face it, without volunteers using their gifts and sacrificing their time, the local church would be very ineffective.

Unfortunately, many volunteers feel worn out, underappreciated, and ready to throw in the towel. We've learned this the hard way. Volunteers in our ministry have fizzled out, burned out, walked out, and even cussed us out! Perhaps you've had similar experiences.

There are several factors that contribute to your ministry's ability to keep volunteers involved for the long haul. Getting the right volunteers to start with, providing them ongoing training, given them clear expectations and direction, and providing healthy leadership are all very important. However, the most important thing you can do for your volunteers is oftentimes overlooked or underestimated: Encourage them! The little, simple things you say and do to encourage and support your volunteers really do make a big difference.

You've probably never heard a volunteer in your ministry say, "Please stop encouraging me" or "I feel like you support me too much." In fact, if they were totally honest, many volunteers would admit to feeling like they don't get the support and encouragement they need from the leadership of the church.

That's why this book was written! We want to help you keep the volunteer leaders God has given your ministry by giving you a whole bunch of tried and true ideas to encourage and energize your volunteer team. You won't find the newest recruiting methods or impressive leadership training outlines here. Instead, we're simply giving you over a hundred fun, simple ideas that you can use in your setting to encourage your volunteers and let them know how valuable they are to your ministry.
