:: Volunteer Positions

Security

Security volunteers facilitate the safe enjoyment of the event for delegates, volunteers, staff, and guests. Security volunteers manage crowds, concert events, people, traffic to and from venues, and proper care of facilities during the YC weekend. The goal is to facilitate a Christ-like and safe atmosphere where God can touch and change the lives of young people and their leaders during the event.

Security volunteers are required to meet Friday afternoon for orientation, and finish Friday night in the South Club for debrief after the event has been cleared. Saturday and Sunday morning’s volunteers meet in the South Club before the event opens to receive direction for the day and again debrief in the South Club once the event has cleared. The total number of hours of service for the weekend is typically around 30 hours. While the responsibility placed on Security volunteers is high, they are a great group of people who recognize the value of a safe and fun environment to touch and change lives for the Kingdom of God.
