Good News Club Volunteers

​

Step 1:  Complete the Application

​

1.  Read our Child Protection Policy

2.  Watch our 12-minute Protecting Today’s Child presentation or listen at 1-866-878-4182

3.  Read and sign our Statement of Faith and Workers Compliance Form

4.  Complete our Online Background Screening Form (only complete once every 5 years)

Special Information for minors (12-17):  Please complete the confidential screening form and email the completed form to us instead of filling out the online background screening form.  We also do not need your social security number as we will not run a background check on minors.  Be sure to complete the references as we will do a reference check on all minors.  Click HERE for the confidential screening form  

Step 2:  Complete Online Good News Club Training

Thank you for volunteering with Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) after school Good News Club.  The training you are completing is relevant and will help you prepare for club.  There are two courses to complete:  6 lessons in the Wordless Book Training and 10 lessons in the Good News Club Quick Start Training.  So, pace yourself.  It is best to approach your training with an attitude of what can I learn and bring to the children instead of an attitude of just getting it done.  The training is excellent and will help you to be a successful volunteer.  ​

​​​​​1.  Open another window to set-up an account on CEF Child Ministry Institute (CMI).

Tips:
