● Ensure a representative of the youth ministry leadership team makes contact with every student on the roles at least once a year.

● Ensure event coordinators and volunteers are recruited at least three months before they begin. Ensure that their experience leaves them feeling that they’ve made a difference, and they are eager to serve with the youth ministry in the future.
● Keep electronic copies of all job descriptions that are updated, filed appropriately, and easily distributed to volunteers.
