Question 3

Answer

Students who currently in the 9th-12th grade. Anyone graduated under 21 can attend as an “intern” and can serve in a variety of different roles. Also, Adults 21-and-over are much needed to serve in different leadership roles.

Question 4

What can parents/adults do to help?

Answer

This event cannot happen without adult leaders! The most critical role for this event are Work Team Adults (WTA). In this role, adults are paired with a group of students (usually 4-6) where they will go and work on a project together. This is the most fun and rewarding role for adults to have. You do not need to be an expert at construction but just a heart to serve and a heart to get to know students. The number of WTA we have will determine the number of students that can participate in the event.
Other roles to help include: Safety team, Kitchen Team, and Color Group Leaders (to guide and help WTA). But just know that these roles are limited.
