What’s Involved in the Volunteer Playbook Group?
The Volunteer Playbook Group includes:
- Weekly video teaching from Nick on the topic for that week
- A private Facebook Group for daily interaction and Q&A
- 1-on-1 coaching with Nick
- Access to the volunteer resources everyone creates (volunteer job descriptions, handbooks, orientation guides, etc)
Who is it for?
This group is for leaders who serve in children’s ministry, youth ministry, or in nextgen/family roles. Everyone who takes the 10-week challenge must commit to do the following:
- Watch the weekly video teaching
- Do the work each week (3+ hours)
- Take feedback graciously
- Give feedback honestly
- Encourage others in the Facebook group
- Share everything you create
3+ Hours/Week?
In case you skimmed past it, I want to highlight that participating in this group requires a significant investment of time. One of the biggest reasons we struggle to recruit volunteers in ministry is because it takes more time than we’re able to give to it. This is especially true if you are working to build your culture from scratch or rebuilding something that isn’t working.
Every week you’ll need to set aside a minimum of 3 hours to do the work:
- 1 hour for the video teaching and Facebook group interaction
- 1 hour to do the weekly tasks
- 1 hour+ to work on the projects and homework specific to that week
Who is it NOT for?
This group is NOT for everyone. Some examples include:
- It is not for someone who can’t give 3-4+ hours/week beyond your current responsibilities
- It is not for someone who will be excited early on, but not follow through
- It is not for someone who is burnt out – If that’s you, let’s talk, because there’s a better path (Email nick@nickblevins.com)
- It is not for someone who will not stop other things in order to make time for this
This isn’t a marketing trick or a ploy, I promise. I’m looking for people who will be all-in to transform their volunteer culture. We need everyone’s best.
What is the cost?
The cost is $200 $150/person (special summer rate). A monthly payment option is available, but costs a little more. There are discounts for multiple registrations from the same church or organization. See below for more details.
The group is first-come, first-served, and there are limited spots available in order for the group to best serve everyone involved.
