Our RiverKids program takes place on Sunday mornings for grades K-5. Ideally, all roles in RiverKids would work on a month long rotation, however some roles may work best as once a month service opportunities (ie storyteller). This means that, ideally, volunteer leaders work until the end of their monthly theme, giving them the opportunity to build on lessons and programs each week before a new theme is introduced the next month.

Check-in/check-out person
A friendly face to welcome children and register them for the morning program. This individual should arrive 10-15 minutes before the start of the service to help kids and their families know where to go and when to come in. They return 5-10 minutes before the close of the service to bring children to their parents, and check them back out.
